Council of Economic Advisors

I spent this summer interning at the Council of Economic Advisers in the Executive Office of the President. I worked alongside Junior and Senior Economists primarily on the International Trade team, as well as the Energy Team, to perform economic analysis on policy-relevant issues. My work involved researching particular industries, using data to analyze trends, and identifying relevant economic research. This opportunity gave me a unique perspective into how the Executive Branch operates and provided me with a fast-paced environment to work on topics that I am interested in.
