“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
My Background
I grew up in a small town in Southern Rhode Island, about 30 miles south of Providence, where I completed both my primary and secondary education. Throughout my time in the Narragansett School District, I undertook a full, challenging course load of rigorous academics, and participated in numerous extracurricular activities along with being a two-sport athlete in soccer and golf. I thoroughly enjoyed leadership activities, such as being Co-President of my class for all 4 years of high school, and graduated in the top 10% of my class (10th out of 109).
Looking for a business education in the Greater Boston area where I could maximize my potential as a young professional, I made the decision to attend Bentley University in the Fall of 2013. As a part of Bentley's Centennial Class, I graduated in May 2017 with a B.S. in Finance and Minor in Politics. I participated in clubs such as Bentley Investment Group and Best Buddies, and continued to pursue activities that would allow me to exhibit leadership qualities, namely being a Student Ambassador for Bentley University Undergraduate Admissions. I had a strong interest in particular areas of my coursework, such as investment management, real estate finance, and international finance.
