In one sentence, what excites you about becoming a PCC? Through each of the internships I have done so far, I have had the opportunity to explore different areas of finance, so I'm excited to help students explore which areas of finance they're interested in and guide them in putting their best foot forward in the internship search process.

What internships you have held during your time at SCU? 

  • Global Supply Chain Finance Intern- Gap Inc.
  • Investment Banking Analyst Intern- True Blue Partners
  • Private Equity Analyst Intern- Verdo Capital

Favorite LSB Class so far? FNCE 124- Investments. I really enjoyed how we were given an opportunity to manage a virtual $1 million portfolio and actively follow market trends to determine which companies and sectors to invest in. After taking the course, I even served as a TA for two quarters as well!

Favorite career advice you have received? Apply to as many companies as you can, because even if you don't think you have a chance, you may be surprised.
