About Aariz Ahmad:

Driven Economics and International Relations student with a proven track record in high stakes, demanding, analytical and strategic roles. My academic journey at Wake Forest University is complemented by a robust foundation in economics, politics (focusing on international relations), and statistical analysis, with a GPA of 3.81 across my majors and minors. I bring hands-on experience from diverse sectors, including financial analysis with United Way & Bank of America, fundraising & logistics management for educational initiatives with Biking4Books in St. Louis, and extensive legislative research & analysis in the United States Senate - focusing on foreign & economic policy. My expertise in mathematics and interests in policy converge in my ability to simplify complex information for strategic decision-making.
