Andres Sanchez

Business administration student with proven experience as a disciplined student athlete in tennis. An open and analytical mentality allows me to face the challenges of the dynamic system nowadays. As an international student I learned to be independent and how to deal with change. The summer jobs gave me insight in the different work settings and gave me the opportunity to develop skills in organizing, planning, and coordinating of work-related obligations. One of my best qualities is that I am a quick learner and I work efficiently in group setting as well as individually.
