About Bailey McCarthy

I am a recent graduate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a bachelor degree in Economics and a minor in Business. Both my diligence and perseverance help define who I am as an individual, as they are two driving forces in all aspects of my life. Throughout my life I always forced myself to give an honest effort, and never settled for less than my best. Academically, I applied these core principles, and sought out to be the best version of myself in the classroom. Through my passion for economics and human-decision making, I have been able to apply my determination in the classroom, properly preparing myself for the future.I am confident that with these traits combined with my skillset, and adaptibility, I will put myself in an excellent position to achieve my career goals, and be an immediate impact in the field.Through hardwork applied in all aspects of life, I have established a reinforced idea that though my personal persitence and determination, I have the ability to overcome all obstacles sent my way, regardless of its severeity. By applying these personal affirmations to my professional career, I believe no goal is to high.
