I worked for other banks in the Wall Street area before joining Goldman Sachs. I was attracted by the talent and initiative of the people in all areas of the firm. I joined in '97 and have never looked back. The level of teamwork and unity here is unique. That's what makes this firm so strong. Also, the possibilities here are outstanding: You have opportunities to move up, to move across the country, or even around the world. You just have to be open to the possibilities, as I was.

In 2002, I left the New York offices and came to Salt Lake City to join the Client Risk Management Group. There's a good deal of interaction, which I support wholeheartedly. It makes your job easier and the quality of work better. It also helps you to work smarter: You get the work done more quickly and that gives you the ability to better balance your work and home life.
