Jayde Edgren

I am a current Economics student at the University of British Columbia in the process of transferring into the Sauder School of Business. I have many passions including starting small businesses, dancing, singing, and stand up comedy, but my ultimate passion is starting my own company one day after finishing my degree in business. I am outgoing, funny (although funny people don’t usually admit that they’re funny), and would consider myself to be very good with talking to people. If given the opportunity for this job, I believe I would exceed your expectations.
