About Alex Cohen

I’m a University of Michigan student with years of hands-on leadership, customer-facing, and problem-solving experience. From working at Vineyard Vines and identifying operational inefficiencies to developing AI-driven solutions through DECA (where I placed 3rd at states in Travel & Tourism role play), I’ve learned to combine strategy, creativity, and communication under pressure. My time as a camp counselor and youth coach sharpened my conflict resolution, collaboration, and leadership skills, while roles like teacher assistant at my synagogue built my organizational and interpersonal strengths.I’m particularly interested in consulting and law because they align with my strengths in analysis, communication, and teamwork while giving me opportunities to make a measurable impact. I thrive in fast-paced, team-driven environments and am excited to continue developing skills in problem-solving, client engagement, and strategic thinking that I can bring to both industries.
