Elyse Goldberg’s Summary
Since June, 2008, I have worked for Lockheed Martin, participating in the Finance Leadership Development Program. This program allows new hires to rotate through three different jobs in the first three years of employeement at Lockheed. In addition, we are provided with on-the-job training in all aspects of government contractor finance. Through the Leadership Development Program, I will obtain my MBA in either entrepreneurship or marketing.
Besides working for Lockheed, I also teach Brazilian jiu jitsu at BETA Academy in Washington, D.C., blog about my experiences training and competing (www.gringabjj.com) and maintain a website dedicated to helping women find jiu jitsu gis that fit. My goal for 2010 is to develop my student base in both the group classes and in private lessons. In 2010 I also hope to develop enough partnerships to fully fund my competition travel. Promoting my jiu jitsu career in teaching and competition has served as an invaluable learning experience in business accumen.
In 2008, I graduated from Boston University with a Bachelors of Arts in International Relations, concentrating in International Systems and East Asia. I have also completed a minor in Chinese language. In 2007 I studied abroad in Geneva, Switzerland, focusing on International Public Law.
My coursework has encompassed a wide range of subjects from international diplomacy (negotiation) to classical Chinese. I also have extensive experience working with computers and have been responsible for supporting almost all imaginable computer problems with my job as a consultant at Boston University.
I am ambitious, focused, and can excel at almost any task.
