News and Analysis from the Aristotle Team

Princeton in DC

I’m constantly humbled and impressed by the talent at Aristotle. One of the best parts of my job is welcoming new team members into the fold.

This summer, we brought five young men and women from Princeton University on board for our summer intern program. As a Princeton alum myself I’m probably biased (go tigers!), but I’m pretty sure we have the brightest team of DC summer interns around:

From left to right:

Ting Lin (Marketing) was born in China but grew up in New York City. She will graduate in June 2010 from Princeton University with a Bachelors Degree in Economics with a minor in East Asian Studies. She spent the last two summers in China and Japan studying Chinese and Japanese. In her spare time she enjoys traveling, cooking and singing. Through her internship with Aristotle, Ting hopes to entertain the entire staff with her great sense of humor, but also gain insights into politics and marketing, as well as a personal assessment of her own career goals.

Emily Reynolds (Professional Services) is a Politics major with a certificate in European Cultural Studies. She is a gifted athlete with the Princeton Crew team, having earned a Gold Medal in the Junior World Championship for rowing in Austria. In her spare time, Emily enjoys tennis, sailing, reading and traveling.

Sarah Cornfeld (Marketing) is a rising star, a junior at Princeton University, majoring in Politics with a focus on the American political system. Her experience conducting research for the CBS Evening News at the DC News Bureau last summer convinced her to study political science and to return to the nation’s capital. When not in the library, Sarah can be found playing soccer, registering students to vote, meeting up with friends, or visiting her family in Bethesda, Maryland.

Sauhard Sahi (R&D) is entering his senior year this fall at Princeton University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science & Engineering degree in Computer Science. He is passionate about new and emerging technologies, and likes to read about and discuss politics. In the past, he has interned in the Applied Computer Science & Mathematics division of Merck & Co, as well as two research labs at Princeton. In his free time, he enjoys watching movies, playing video games, talking to friends, meeting new people, and visiting new places!

Huanqi Deng (R&D) is an ORFE major at Princeton University. He has lived in Northern Virginia for over a decade, and his passions include ballroom dance, running, and photography. Huanqi’s previous work experience consisted of analyzing brain imaging data at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. This summer, Huanqi helped build out the voter-facing web services of Aristotle’s 360.

All – thanks for your hard work this summer. It’s been great to have you on board.
