About Me
Hello, I’m Dante Martiniello,
Im a rising junior at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting. I’m passionate about public service, ethical leadership, and the intersection of government, business, and policy. I strive to bring integrity and curiosity to every role I take on — whether in the classroom, workplace, or community.
What I'm Doing Now
I’m currently serving as a Summer Audit Operations Intern at the Massachusetts State Auditor’s Office under Diana Dizoglio, where I support government audits by evaluating internal controls and compliance with regulations. I also help draft reports used to inform state policy.
At Boston University, I work as a Resident Assistant, helping to lead a safe and inclusive residential community for over 40 undergraduates.

In Spring 2025, I was honored to receive the Capstone Award from Boston University’s College of General Studies for co-authoring the top interdisciplinary policy thesis of the year. Our project, titled “Defense Organization for Research, Innovation, and Trade of Semiconductors (DORITOS),” proposed a comprehensive national strategy to secure the U.S. semiconductor supply chain amid rising geopolitical tensions with China.
In the Summer of 2024, I had the opportunity to study abroad in London through Boston University's CGS six-week summer program. As part of the curriculum, this immersive experience combined classroom learning with cultural exploration across the city. Each week included interdisciplinary coursework in the humanities, social sciences, and rhetoric, enriched by walking tours, museum visits, and site-based assignments at historic landmarks.
The program broadened my global perspective, strengthened my critical thinking, and helped me connect historical and modern policy issues in a global context—skills I continue to apply throughout my academic and professional journey.
