Duke University

As an English major, I learned most of what I know about finance recruiting by going through it myself. I spent my sophomore summer at Davidson Kempner rotating across the merger arb, corporate credit and private credit desks, and my junior summer in investment banking at Goldman Sachs in the Financial Institutions Group. I also did the Girls Who Invest summer intensive and an investment fellowship with Roark Capital. On campus, I lead the education series for BlackGen Capital, a student investment fund, where I teach the modeling curriculum to newer members. I was also an Orientation Leader for Project BUILD and I’m involved in Tri Delt, Duke Africa and BSA. Teaching through BlackGen is what made me want to coach sophomores, since I remember how confusing the process was at that stage.
