My name is Connor LaMastra, and I am a rising senior at Northwestern University. I’m majoring in Economics and minoring in Business Institutions. I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I am on the varsity Swimming and Diving team at Northwestern after recently transferring from Dartmouth College, where I was a member of programs such as Dartmouth Swim School, SAAC Pen Pal Program, and the Thetford Mentor Program. I hope to use my Summer Fellowship at ACE to improve my Economics research capabilities, as well as continue my growth in professional presentation and communication. Outside of the classroom, I love to cook/bake, run, hike, swim, and play with my two dogs, Katinka and Zelda.
