I attended MIT under a Navy ROTC scholarship so I knew that I would start my career as an officer in the U.S. Navy. At MIT, I studied Materials Engineering and thought that I’d likely try to get a job in the materials industry as a manager. During my last two years in the Navy, I was able to attend Fordham University’s MBA program on a part time basis. In the program, I studied with many professionals who worked in the financial industry. The energy and intensity of Wall Street sparked my interest, and I was able to land a job as a technology manager at a New York investment bank.

During the six years I spent working at that firm, I often heard of Goldman Sachs’ reputation for success from friends who worked there. When I heard about an opportunity to interview at Goldman Sachs Operations, I was excited to shift my career in a different direction – away from technology project management and more toward business and process management.
