Indiana University, BS in Finance/Operations Management

Joined The Claro Group in: July 2004: I felt working for a smaller professional services firm would provide an opportunity to get a variety of work experience as well as insure that you get recognition for the work you do.

My strongest skills are: Analytical and problem-solving skills.

The most important lesson I've learned: Always provide a high-quality work product. You never know how your analysis may be used.

I get the most satisfaction from: Seeing my analysis or ideas incorporated into the final work product.

The most interesting thing I did at work recently: I worked with a project team to produce an expert report that was used in litigation between a large bank and a reinsurance company.

The best piece of advice offered to me when I was starting my professional career: Talk to the people who you will be working closely with. You spend the majority of your time at work, so make sure your potential co-workers enjoy their jobs and that they are the types of people you want to work with.
