Leadership / financial education

FAI

I led FAI’s California state team within the Finance and Investment Club, a wider organization of 6,000+ members. I helped raise more than $50,000 with partners, ran a stock-market competition with scholarship prizes, and brought in finance-industry speakers.

Connecting students with people in finance

I brought in speakers including a Wells Fargo vice president. Alongside the competition and chapter resources, these events were part of our work to make financial education accessible to students.
