Lead with Heart
The Frank & Eileen™ Center mentorship program gave me a mentor for life, who also works in the finance industry. I can go to her for any help or support I need. The (Stephen D.) Cutler Center (for Investments & Finance) was a great resume booster, to have worked on Bloomberg and learned how to create asset portfolios on Python.”

Build Traditions
I was preparing my pitch for the Babson Entrepreneurship Forum pitch competition in the Trim dining hall, and (Babson College) President Spinelli was sitting by himself having breakfast. He welcomed me to join him, and we shared breakfast and talked through my pitch. Thanks to his advice and valuable insights into my pitch, I was able to refine and improve it ahead of the competition.
