Background

About Brian Jacob John

Math is more than a field of study to me. It is a universal language that reflects human curiosity and logic. I am a junior at Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and a Minor in Communication. My academic interests include linear algebra, differential equations, and optimization. I am passionate about teaching and mentoring others, and I have gained valuable skills and experience in these areas. I currently work as an Instructional Aide for the Applied Linear Algebra class taught by Dr. Joel Nishimura, where I grade and help students with course material and MATLAB applications. I have also served as a Teaching Assistant for the Introduction to Public Speaking class and an Online Public Speaking Mentor at CommLabASU, where I provided feedback and guidance to students on their speeches and presentations. Through these roles, I have improved my leadership, planning, and communication skills, and I have helped students achieve higher grades and better understanding of the topics. I have also developed an interest in finance and I would love to work as a Financial Analyst in the future. I have completed the Complete Financial Analyst Course 2023 on Udemy and I have learned about financial statements, ratios, valuation, and modeling. I have also joined The National Society of Leadership and Success, where I have completed the Orientation and Leadership Training and the Foundations of Leadership courses. I am eager to learn more and apply my skills and knowledge to real-world problems. I am always open to new opportunities and connections. Feel free to reach out to me and I would love to hear from you!
