agatha's cover letter for continuum

AGATHA YU
I considered sending you the same old cover letter, but I know being a part of you guys means I can stick out like a sore thumb
(which I secretly enjoy it).

Being bilingual (Chinese and English) and adventurous, my brain developed the unusual
bilateral thinking with a unique mix of entrepreneurial flair and boardroom polish.

Recommended by the Dean to the Deloitte regional lead partner, I became their consulting
intern. I interacted with clients, prepared proposals and produced final deliverables.

I was on two client projects, where I focused on finding the overlap between people’s needs and
the companies’ capabilities to exploit business opportunities. Done both internally and externally.
I also ran businesses such as CuriousBite, an online platform that helps to you to dine with 11
other strangers. And next month I will be in Silicon Valley to work on a Y-Combinator project

To find like minded people, I started Project Edge, a program where students create,
develop and validate their business ideas. We celebrate being at the edge of chaos.

To sum up, whilst I am good at math, I break the typical Asian mold. I thrive in ambiguity and am
always curious to learn. Oh and I love to work in teams, especially interesting people like you.
