The fundamental techniques I learned about understanding the strengths and weaknesses of a business helped me stand out in the recruiting process for my two co-ops and developed my critical thinking abilities."

Through four years serving as an analyst, lead analyst, and director in the fund, I formed an incredible network of like-minded learners, developed skills my classes weren’t teaching me (but employers were demanding), and set myself up to pursue my dream job in Investment Banking.
