Peer Advising

Hi! My name is Isaiah and I’m a senior from Seattle, WA majoring in Economics and minoring in Data Science. I am passionate about using empirical research methodologies to extract unforeseen insights from research questions. 

My last two summers were both in New York working in financial quantitative technology/data science roles. I have a strong interest in financial markets and about researching and refining the methodologies that provide insight on market dynamics. I also have experience as a part of nonprofit organizations and in community service roles. I aim to further cultivate these experiences by continuing to commit my time to bettering the communities around me as I build my professional career. 

In my free time I enjoy working out at the gym, going on runs near campus, and playing tennis with my friends.

Feel free to ask me anything about the economics major or the data science minor, finance internships/recruitment processes, or about navigating Stanford as a first-generation/low-income student! 

P.S. I also just finished a quarter abroad in Florence last spring, so if that’s of any interest to you, come ask questions :)

Hi! My name is Nahian and I’m a senior from Fort Worth, TX majoring in Economics and minoring in Data Science. I am broadly interested in using quantitative social science research methods to understand socioeconomic disparities, particularly within the fields of education, healthcare, migration, and international development.

This past summer, I worked at the Educational Opportunity Project, researching pandemic learning loss, chronic absenteeism, and kindergarten readiness. Previously, I’ve worked at the Immigration Policy Lab as well as the Wall Lab. Besides research, I’m involved with the Bangladeshi Students Association and Rem & Co. on campus. In my free time, I dance, draw, crochet, and make very niche playlists.

Feel free to ask me anything about the economics major or data science minor, social science research careers, or generally navigating Stanford as a first-generation/low-income student!

Hi! My name is Gabi, and I’m a senior from the D.C. area. I’m majoring in Economics, minoring in Human Rights, and writing an honors thesis with Stanford’s Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law. I’m broadly interested in the areas of public economics and public interest law, particularly as they relate to democratic resilience and institutional reform. 

I’ve had experience working at a variety of IGOs, like the World Bank and the UNDP, on both quantitative economics-focused research projects and policy reports. I have also worked at several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Department of State, and, most recently, the Office of Management and Budget. On campus, I’m involved with the Stanford Economics Association, the SLS Constitutional Law Fellows program, the Undergraduate Law Review, and the ASSU Executive Team. 

I’m planning to pursue graduate degrees in Public Policy/Economics and eventually in law, with the aim of entering a career in public service. Happy to chat about class recommendations, finding opportunities in government, bridging intersecting interests, navigating the Econ department more broadly, or anything in between! 

Hi! My name is Jenna Teterin, and I am a senior from Redwood City majoring in Economics and minoring in Data Science. 

I'm broadly interested in business and finance and have interned within the industries for the past few years - this past summer, I was an investment banking analyst, and I'm looking forward to returning full-time after graduating in the spring. On campus, I'm co-president of Stanford Women in Finance and a staff writer for Stanford Economic Review. In my free time, I enjoy reading and spending time with friends. 

I'm happy to chat about navigating the finance industry, anything about the Economics major or Data Science minor, and anything in between!

Hi! My name is Kasha. I’m a junior from St. Pete, Florida majoring in Economics and minoring in Italian.

For the past two summers, I’ve worked in tech and healthcare private equity in Tampa. This summer, I’ll be in New York City with Raymond James in their healthcare investment banking group. On campus, I’m a research assistant on Chinese security policy with the Freeman Spogli Institute and involved with the Stanford Economic Review, Club Running, and the Catholic Leadership Team. I also have a huge sweet tooth and love to travel!

I’m happy to chat about class recommendations, study tips, the latest medtech news, navigating career paths, or anything in between. Feel free to reach out!

Hi! My name is Karsen and I’m a senior from Arizona. I’m majoring in Economics and Math, and co-terming in CS (on the AI Track). 

I’ve worked in a variety of econ government roles, including at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, US Treasury Department, Economic Analysis Division of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and US Senate. I also spent a summer at Propel, a public interest technology firm serving over 5 million low-income families, and worked for the nonprofit End Poverty in California. I’ve worked as a research assistant for various professors in the Economics Department, GSB, and Political Science Department, and TA for ECON 1. On campus, I’m a two-time RA in Otero, and am heavily involved with the Haas Center for Public Service; I previously oversaw Stanford in Government’s Fellowships and Stipends and served as Managing Editor for the Stanford Economic Review. 

I’m interested in graduate school in economics and law, and broadly interested in applying economics to policy impact. In my free time, I love to climb mountains, read, eat good food, and spend time with my dog. 

Feel free to reach out about classes, bridging economics and the real world, getting involved with research, graduate school, policy, the outdoors, or anything else!
