Catch us up on what you have been doing since graduation “I spent the first 4 1/2 years out of school working for an investment bank while living in Chicago and New York. Earlier this year, I joined an investment firm in New York that invests primarily in public market securities. Outside of work, I try to play hoops when I can, completed my first triathlon last summer and am currently training for the New York City Marathon.”
How does your UW degree help you in your vocation? “The undergraduate business program at Wisconsin definitely helped prepare me for a career in finance. Equally as important is the education I got from Coach Ryan, his staff and my teammates. Coach stresses to his players that we achieve success through hard work and a team approach. I’ve been lucky enough to start my career working with people who share that same philosophy. There is no question that the disciplined approach and time management skills I developed at Wis- consin have been a huge benefit professionally.”
What is your favorite memory of Madison? “The energy and buzz of the city and campus… I’m biased, but to me it is pretty clear that the minute you step foot in Madison you are in the best college town in America.”
