Student Profile

Sarah Wright
Marketing and Finance
Silver Spring, Maryland
She's an honors student majoring in marketing and finance and minoring in psychology, so it's hard to believe that Sarah Wright, from Silver Spring, Maryland, has time for many extracurricular activities.
But Sarah - who maintains a 3.9 GPA - chairs of SBA Council, is a tour guide, serves as a teaching assistant for the FIRST Step program, participates in women's Ultimate Frisbee, and serves as a peer counselor for freshmen.
"One of the really great aspects of the School of Business is its excellent peer counselor program," Sarah says. "The moment that you walk in as a freshman you are assigned another student in the School to assist you with planning your freshman courses freshman and to answer any of your questions about the University of Miami. I became a peer counselor because I wanted to give back and I love the program."
On top of her many activities at school, during the summer of 2009, Sarah broadened her horizons by studying abroad at the London School of Economics in England and has held internships with the United States Department of Agriculture and Aetna Insurance.
