I am a first year MBA student, and I am looking for a summer internship. Though I live in KS, I am willing to relocate or even live abroad for this internship; I am also willing to take an unpaid position if the internship is a good "fit" with my career goals.

I am currently pursuing three Masters degrees: a Master of Arts in East Asian Studies (Japanese language and culture emphasis, to be completed sometime this year), a Master of Arts in Russian & Eastern European studies (May 2009 completion), and a Master of Business Administration (International Business concentration, May 2009 completion). I am all-but-thesis in my East Asian studies degree, and about 6 credits away from completing the Russian degree, so most of my coursework at the moment has been business-related.

I have a broad spectrum of work experience, which includes about 2 years working full time in the health care industry. I have also owned and operated an online retail business for the last five years, and I have spent the last three years teaching a university-level course in East Asian culture.

For the first year in my MBA program, I have been doing extensive coursework in consulting; projects have included doing marketing consulting for one of the world's largest greeting card companies, as well as strategy consulting in Japan for one of the world's leading business software companies. I have also completed a short-term business study abroad program in India, where I did in-depth studies on Indian family businesses and the Indian pharmaceutical industry.

I speak Japanese reasonably well (having lived there for a period of time), and I am working on that same level of proficiency in Russian (though to be honest, I have many years to go on that front).

Please PM me for my resume if interested. Thanks.
