Questions?
You can start chatting with Ericka before you get started.
I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2021 with a bachelor of arts in Government and Hispanic Studies. I started my career in employment-based immigration law as a paralegal, during which time I was considering law school. I pivoted into equity research to broaden my work experience, and have been working at Morgan Stanley in consumer staples equity research since. I am excited to help you navigate your career pivot, and can help you explore and prepare to apply to new opportunities. I can also help navigate studying for the CFA level one exam, as I completed it on my first attempt in April 2025 while working full time in equity research.
