Jackson Buick

I'm a graduate from Loyola Marymount University, with a B.S. in Economics and a B.A. in Political Science, plus a minor in Philosophy. In the long run, I want to find a way to use my resources to make the world a better place, and I've found the intersection of Economics and Political Science has been the best place to make that happen. For me, that's generally meant working with data analysis and especially econometrics. At present, I'm hoping to find any opportunities to improve my own experience and abilities in my field, and I'm interested in joining a research-oriented team while doing so. Additionally, while I'm fully capable of doing research and analysis, I'm also interested in team management, speaking, and leadership. My experiences helping fill leading roles with group organizations in my education taught me the value of making a change, not just on a systemic level, but interpersonally. So altogether, I look forward to whatever kind of experiences I'll be tasked with next.
