My name is Kyle Madura, and I am currently a student at The Ohio State University. I am a Finance and Political Science major with a minor in economics. I am in the Politics, Society, and Law Scholars program, as well as the Buckeye Capital Investors.

I am from Chicago, IL and went to Amos Alonzo Stagg High School, where I graduated in the top ten percent of the class. I was the founder and president of the school’s UNICEF Club, served as both the Executive Director of Lobbyists and the Speaker of the House for Illinois Youth and Government, and was on cross country, track, and in the marching band for four years.

Outside of school, I worked at the restaurant Buona as a server for two years, where I operated a cash register, order preparation counter, and drive-thru in a high-traffic restaurant, as well as supervised training for new employees and evaluated their performance. I was also a part of the Boy Scouts of America for twelve years, earning the rank of Eagle Scout in January, 2018.

I am an avid fan of history, with a focus on American and European History. I enjoy studying economics and politics, as well as writing on the online site Quora. At Ohio State, I hope to expand my knowledge of business and politics, while broadening my academic outlook with other subjects, specifically Astronomy. I also hope to study abroad in Hong Kong, gain an internship at the Ohio State Capital, and join a business fraternity.

After four years undergraduate, I wish to attend business school and receive an M.B.A.. I intend to start out my financial career as an Investment Banker, with the intent to later move into a career in financial consulting or politics.

My largest goal in life is to understand the world around me as much as possible, and to attain as much wisdom as I can. I believe that I must maintain a humble mindset to allow myself to learn about the world. This will by no means be an easy feat, but I have strong feelings of hope.
