Background

About Jackson Lent

I’m a recent Colby College graduate looking for a full-time position in the Northeast Corridor. With my strong leadership and communication skills, I enjoy working with a diverse team of collaborators. As a decisive driver and motivator, I excel when working towards a goal, even on a tight timeline, and am great at identifying skills in others and utilizing them to the team's advantage. I enjoy being a leader, and my empathy allows me to connect with diverse groups. I’ve never been one to shy away from public speaking or presenting first, and this confidence has allowed me to excel professionally, academically, and socially. My natural interpersonal skills have also been vital to any team I’ve been a part of, and I have a knack for strategically moving a group toward a goal quickly and effectively. Despite my fast-paced and decisive nature, I’ve never sacrificed the quality of my work, and I won't settle for anything less than my best. During my time at Colby, I majored in Global Studies with a minor in economics, allowing me to explore a wide range of courses in fields such as government, anthropology, history, statistics, and economics. In my most recent internship at a boutique investment advisory firm, I performed due diligence, analyzed stock and investment holdings, and used Microsoft Excel to synthesize and present data, while gaining extensive market research experience. Through this work, I’ve honed not only my analytical skills but also my writing and presentation skills. In my free time, you might find me hiking, playing tennis, or exploring new restaurants with friends!
