I have spent the last 12 years broadly in the financial services industry across different roles, including investment management, investment banking, private equity, strategy and product management. I grew up on a farm and didn’t know what any of those roles were until I started my career and I continue to learn about new roles to this day! As long as you’re curious, you can grow into any job that you want. I’m also happy to speak with students contemplating an MBA or moving to a different state/city as part of a career change or first job.

My advice to students...

Take your work seriously, but not yourself! It can be hard to balance this when you’re in the heat of the movement at work, but curiosity, collaboration and accountability go a long way. Reflect about how you want to be remembered: is it what you did or how you made others feel? Assume best intentions and remember that all decisions are made with imperfect information! That’s what makes work fun!
