Proudest Moment: One of my proudest moments at UW was receiving my summer internship offer at The Intel Corporation and presenting my recommendations at the end of the 12-week internship.
annalenarose22@gmail.comMy name is Lena and I am a senior graduating from the Foster School of Business with a focus in Finance. I am passionate about leadership, art and travel. After graduation I will be moving to Portland, Oregon to begin my career as a financial analyst at The Intel Corporation.
During my time at UW I had the opportunity to study abroad in both Rome, Italy and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Both of these experiences yielded a decisive shift in my priorities, relationships, and what I imagined for my future. The journal I kept in Rome served as an outlet to process my experiences, but it also turned out to spark a passion for writing. During my senior year, Buenos Aires reignited my interests in art and travel. I had more time to create, and no shortage of inspiration. I loved visiting new museums, learning the history of the murals decorating the streets, and simply appreciating the idiosyncrasies of a new city.
Spending my final quarter of college quarantined in my apartment, has given me the opportunity to celebrate this last chapter of college with my best friends, and also ample time to reflect on the last four years. College is a primary time in life meant for learning. It just so happens that as much of my education came from outside the classroom, as from inside. And I’ve learned just as much about myself, as I have about the subjects covered in my classes.
I encourage you to take a look at my portfolio if you have a chance, because I’ve added a bunch of art and photos to give viewer a better idea of what’s important to me. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to develop my honors portfolio in punctuation of my senior year, and confident that it is an accurate and continuously evolving illustration of the last four years.
