Staff Spotlight
Hunter
I joined the Foresight Team after studying Marketing & Business Analytics at the University of Minnesota and briefly working as a Research Analyst for a Minneapolis Consulting Company.
I began with Foresight near the heart of the pandemic and spent my first months with the company fully remote. I learned the ropes of the virtual workplace with the help of weekly virtual happy hour game and a team eager to answer my many, many questions.
At Foresight, I have had the opportunity to work with clients brand new to the company and tackle strategic questions in industries new to the team. From developing strategic frameworks, evaluating markets, and creating impact simulations, the work has been most rewarding seeing firsthand as strong partnerships are forged. My favorite part of working at Foresight is that we go beyond delivering a solution, we become partners with our clients and work to make sure their needs are met.
Away from work, I spend my free time going on walks and learning. I am an avid bar trivia goer and love to explore different topics to broaden my knowledge. Most nights you can find me watching documentaries on obscure subjects or playing along with Jeopardy from the couch. I also love to cook, trying out foods from different cultures and adding to my repertoire in the kitchen.
