I'm a student at a high school near Princeton University, and I'm very interested in economics and finance. I work as an analyst at an investment firm in Princeton, and I've taken 3 economics courses at Princeton University. I also placed first in the States competition for economics in New Jersey, competing as a high school freshman against students of all ages. In addition to that, I am an incoming Fall intern at my local Congressman's district office, mainly due to my interest in public sector economics.
Im going to be in California for all of July, and I was wondering if I could be an unpaid intern/research assistant for you? I want to gain experience and deeper knowledge in the field of economics, and I know of no better way to do it. Thank you very much.
Best,
