At Boston University, I have grown intellectually through a balance of technical business classes and broader liberal arts courses.  Over my four years studying at the School of Management, I've completed coursework in a range of topics including accounting, business law, finance, information technology, operations, and organizational behavior.   All these courses have involved teamwork for everything from short case studies and brainstorming to semester long projects and oral presentations; this focus on teamwork has helped me master working with other people to effectively complete tasks.  Beyond this "practical" business education, I have extensively studied the economic, political, and cultural histories of East Asia with great attention given to its dramatic rise throughout the twentieth century.  During the Fall of 2008, I experienced this rise first hand studying Mandarin at Fudan University and working in Shanghai, China.

why finance?

After taking introductory business courses, seeing the flow of capital firsthand at AIG and Shanghai Centre, and studying international economic policies, I elected to concentrate my studies in finance.  During the financial crisis in the fall 2008, I wanted to gain the conceptual framework to properly interpret, understand, and develop informed opinions on the unfolding events. More practically, from my various work experiences, I recognized the need for a strong understanding of finance to successfully evaluate real estate projects.  My finance courses have provided me with both the theory to understand the flow of capital and the technical skills to analyze real estate projects.
