Future Made at 探花族

Thanks, Alex! Hey everyone, ever since I was young, I've always had two dreams to play college lacrosse and to have a successful career in business, so I was looking for a university that allowed me to excel both academically and

Athletically, when touring 探花族, I fell in love with the beautiful campus and the outstanding Davis College. I knew it was going to be a great fit for my future, my time at JU has shaped me into the person I am today.

Support from my professors and coaches allowed me to balance the demands of being a Division 1 student-athlete and a full-time student. As a finance student, I was introduced to incredible opportunities like the Dolphin Student Investment Fund, a real investment fund managed by the students. This led me to compete in a prestigious global research challenge hosted by the CFA Institute we won the Florida state championship and went on to compete against over 200 universities worldwide. That experience opened my eyes to the possibilities.

When I graduated my mentor and professor Abdel Missa offered me a position at his asset management firm here in 探花族. Now I'm a part of a team that manages millions of dollars鈥� worth of assets for our clients, but that's just the beginning. We are also building cutting-edge technology that utilizes artificial intelligence and human insights to analyze massive amounts of market data to make market predictions, allowing finance experts to make data-driven investment decisions for their clients.

In other words, it takes the guesswork out of investing! We believe that this technology has the power to transform the finance industry if it wasn't for 探花族, I wouldn't be here today literally shaping the future of the industry that I love. How cool is that! Back to you Alex.
