Maria Mihai '25 Recruiting Profile

I’m an academic student who also loves to run on the track to blow off steam from a long day! I have one of the highest GPAs in my school while being in IB and being one of the best academic prospects, but I also love to volunteer my time for important causes. I believe I am a good candidate for your team because I’m not afraid of hard work, a challenge, or multitasking.
