Sarah Pedersen
Coordinatrice de l'enseignement, American Graduate School in Paris
Reconnue comme étant quelqu’un d’énergique et travailleuse, je possède sept années d’expérience de consultante au cours desquelles j’ai mené à bien plusieurs projets auprès de différents clients. J’ai été diplômé à Paris de deux Masters – relations internationales et négociations stratégiques. Je recherche désormais l’occasion de faire valoir, à la fois acquis universitaires et expérience de consulting.
Mes dernières réalisations ont démontré mon sens du professionnalisme ainsi que mon aptitude à relever les défis et résoudre les problèmes et donc ma capacité à apporter une contribution notable en entreprise.
