Welcome
Welcome to my website, an expansion of my resumé with a creative twist. This website includes descriptions of my professional experience, academic credentials, and personal interests. After exploring this site, I hope that you get a more complete snapshot of who I am, as a professional and as a person.
Personal Statement
My name is Larkin Wynn. I am a problem solver and team leader with an insatiable desire to learn and a proven track record of getting the job done. Throughout my undergraduate career, I developed expertise in case analysis, research writing, and public speaking. My post-collegiate experience has been in tech sales, specifically with information security and developer experience tools. I maintain a multi-million dollar book of business and help organizations across the country operate more effectively with tailored DevOps and AppSec solutions. Looking to the future, my ultimate goal is to build a career that is rooted in helping others and finding effective solutions to the world's most pressing issues.
My Professional Profile
In the highly globalized world we live in today, knowledge of other cultures, current events, and international systems are more important now than ever before. My education has given me the analytical tools and adaptable framework to not be overwhelmed by the vast complexity of globalization but rather embrace it. I believe it is critical to have a diverse background and a complementary set of skills in order to be ready for more changes to come. This website will elaborate on what is in my resume and highlight key examples of my current and past work.
Educational Experience
B.A. International Relations, University of Southern California
January 2015 - May 2018
In May of 2018, I graduated from USC with a degree in International Relations and a 3.5 GPA. My coursework included classes such as Foreign Policy Analysis, The Global Finance and Monetary Regime, International Business Communication, Negotiation and Persuasion, International Political Economy, and Digital Forensics.
Semester Abroad, The American University of Paris
August 2014 - December 2014
I spent my first semester of college before attending USC taking general education courses and learning French at the American University of Paris.
Campus Leadership
Making an Organizational Impact
Philanthropy Chair, Break Through Hip Hop
May 2016 - May 2017
In this executive board position on my collegiate dance team, I acted as the head Project Manager for our then-new partnership with CHLA's Creative Arts Therapies Program. I oversaw the execution for our capstone Benefit Dinner, starting with prospecting and confirming all donations and sponsorships to coordinating all day-of logistics for the evening. By sourcing from a variety of vendors and corporate sponsors for this event in October and effectively managing a group of volunteers on a restricted budget, our team was able to net nearly $2000 in profit for the hospital after starting entirely from scratch.
Administrative VP, Delta Phi Epsilon
April 2017 - December 2017
This leadership position in my foreign service fraternity required me to oversee and sign off on communication between the executive board and the general membership. I curated our weekly newsletters, created communications standards and strategies for the executive board, and administered all internal databases.
