Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Harpstrite is a Santa Clara University senior majoring in Economics with a decade of hands-on experience blending outdoors instruction, client-facing financial services, and renewable energy installation. As a kiteboarding instructor he developed clear technical communication and individualized coaching skills, while his time at Northwestern Mutual honed financial analysis, client relationship building, and personalized planning for life and long-term care protection. He brings practical problem-solving from rooftop solar installs and a proven drive—evidenced by solo hiking the 230-mile John Muir Trail—to roles that require resilience and independent initiative. International study in Santiago, Chile complements his US experience with cross-cultural perspective and language exposure. Focused on entry-level financial or sales positions in the Bay Area, he offers a rare mix of athletic grit, consultative selling ability, and a service-minded ethos. Not immediately obvious: he pairs outdoors leadership with detailed financial planning, making him effective at earning trust and guiding people through high-stakes decisions.
