I am an aspiring Business Economics professional currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree at The University of Chicago. With a passion for finance and investment, I’ve accumulated over a year of professional experience where I’ve contributed significantly to research and strategy development in equity investments and financial management.
Some highlights of my experience include:
- As an Equities Research Intern at North Star Investment Management, I conducted in-depth stock analysis and made investment recommendations. My research and stock pitches were integral to the inclusion of new stocks in the portfolio, reflecting my ability to combine analytical skills with market intuition.
- During my time in the Trott Business Program, I've honed my business acumen through coursework and workshops at the Chicago Booth School of Business, focusing on building a strong foundation in business principles and practices.
- At BNY Mellon, I collaborated on a comprehensive case project, focusing on investment opportunities, conducting research on market trends and customer preferences, which culminated in a strategic presentation to company representatives.
I am particularly enthusiastic about opportunities that allow me to utilize my financial analysis and economic insights to aid in decision-making processes for businesses, both small and large. My educational background and hands-on experiences have equipped me with a unique perspective on the intersection of economics, finance, and business strategy.
I am always eager to connect with new people, you can reach me at afsanchez@uchicago.edu.
