Cassandra Nessem

I am both a highly logical and quantitative thinker, as well as a creative and open-minded thinker, which is why I have pursued a mathematics and economics degree. I believe through an economics discipline I gain unique perspectives on world problems while my studies in mathematics and technology equip me with the technical skillset to solve these problems. My interdisciplinary approach enables me to not only understand complex issues from multiple perspectives but also to create solutions that are both technically sound and economically viable.
