Bio
Hi there, my name is Julia! I completed my bachelors in Economics at UCSD and I'm an MBA candidate at Yale. I'm particularly passionate about behavioral and climate economics. I love to explore how behavioral economics phenomena can help us understand ourselves and the people, companies and world around us. Personally, I love spending time outside in the nature and hanging out with my Havapoo Marshy. I've been vegan for 6+ years now and I've been trying to master vegan recipes in my free time.Project ideas
How does ambiguity/ uncertainty aversion affect our decision making and life choices?
I'd love to explore with you business and economics phenomena that help us understand how humans think and behave, such as ambiguity (uncertainty) aversion, altruism, anchoring and framing, overconfidence effect, and more! We don't have to limit ourselves to behavioral economics though - we can certainly explore other topics from economics, business, technology, or other related fields. During our collaboration, you will learn: 1. how to research and educate yourself on chosen topic (I will help you understand it in depth during our sessions), 2. how to critically think about the concepts and opposing views, 3. how to apply business and economics concepts into practice through your project and beyond, and 4. how to convey your exploration and knowledge through an essay, research paper, and/ or a slick presentation. We will gather information and educate ourselves on chosen topics through researching academic papers and essays, reading books, exploring online courses and Ted Talks, and informational chats with industry experts. We will define your goal together at the beginning of our partnership. In my mind, the goal could include writing an essay or paper that can be later shared during your college or internship applications, or creating a “Ted Talk” presentation that you can present at your school, conference, or actual Ted Talk!
