Why did you join HYAB?
“During my time as a student, I was unsure what career path I wanted to pursue. While I knew I sought a career in finance, I was unaware of all the various pathways and specialties within the industry. I had a lot to learn professionally. Once I began progressing down the roadmap I defined for myself post-grad, I felt compelled to reciprocate the generosity others had shown me along the way. I joined the HYAB because I wanted to give back to our University and the students that comprise it. I wanted to help students who might be unsure of their future career paths and offer what guidance I’m capable of to ensure they identify, pursue and achieve a rewarding career.”
