NomineeBio
Hello: my name is Junio, and my primary interest is economics; it is one of those rare subjects that satisfies my curiosity, specifically about human phenomena and their institutions, while all the more making it more intense. That passion will hopefully translate into becoming an economist and positively contributing to that field to influence policy that betters the world.
The best way to summarize that would be a quote:
“We’re all part of the equilibrium.” - Robert D. Tollison:
I am only one person, and as an individual, I can only do so much; the point is that while my contributions in themselves will not necessarily create a visible outcome for me to admire, the input of other like-minded and interested individuals will. Our efforts will accumulate.
Other than that, my personality can be seen through my music taste: rock and indie! Thank you for your consideration.

Dream career goals:
There was a certain point where I felt non-empathetic and distant: conversation was difficult for me and socially connecting to people often came awkwardly; economics strangely enough, as a method or technique of thinking, led to an increase in what can only be described as humility and compassion for others. My career ambition is simple: improve peoples' lives.
