I am currently in my final semester of my master's program. I am a Master's of Finance student at MIT with a concentration in Financial Engineering. I spent the summer at Bank of America doing quantitative research on the Quantitative Strategies & Data Group, the bank's front office quant team, who work with trading desks on pricing, hedging, and risk management, among other things. This semester, I am currently enrolled in a Time Series Analysis course where we understand how to apply statistical methods to time series data, which often breaks some of the assumptions we hold when applying statistical methods to cross-sectional data. I have really enjoyed being able to leverage math I learned at Swarthmore in my academic and professional pursuits since graduating. I am excited to pursue a career that applies math and programming to decision-making in financial markets.
