"Coming out of high school and my first year of college I really got into the stock market and gained a major interest in the field of finance. I originally came in as a Business Management major but switched to Financial Economics after my freshman year. I realized I was interested in working in personal finance with portfolio and wealth management which made the Financial Economics major a perfect fit. I chose the Mount because I loved the environment and close community feel everywhere on campus. I was drawn to the school by athletics and was sold by the people on campus that made it feel like home. The small, student focused classes were also an important aspect to me and they have paid dividends for having success in the classroom. I would say my educational experience here at the Mount has been exceptional. The professors in the financial economics and business department are tremendous, always willing to assist and help their students in any way that they can. The professors get to know you personally and want to help you succeed not only in the classroom but want to help you professionally in your desired field in any way they can."
