“Eller provides a compelling package of great faculty, an awesome dean, a wonderful staff, and all of the benefits of a smaller program, under the auspices of a major research university.”

On choosing Eller:

Eller provides a compelling package of great faculty, an awesome dean, a wonderful staff, and all of the benefits of a smaller program, under the auspices of a major research university.

On the Eller experience:

I have had a very eventful and exciting time here at Eller. My schedule is challenging and I have met a lot of great people.

On Eller faculty and curriculum:

The classes and their topics are synergistic, so it is difficult to single them out. My interest being in finance, though, I find the finance classes and faculty to be top-notch. Also, I feel that professor Steven Permut’s marketing class from the first-year curriculum was one of the best and most valuable of the core curriculum.

On his career goals:

My career objectives have slightly shifted since entering the program. My focus within finance changed from a corporate finance role to fixed income investment finance. The investment field is highly competitive, so starting off will likely be a challenge. Eller’s fixed income track is unique, however, which certainly differentiates us and makes us very compelling hires.
