Financial Consultant
Currently working on anything interesting/challenging?
 
Not at the moment.
 
What’s been your greatest accomplishment here at CSBM, thus far? 

Learning how to work with billable clients.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Did you know you wanted to work in finance?  If yes, why?  If no, how did you wind up here?

Before starting college interior design had crossed my mind but I never followed through with it. After taking an Intro to Accounting course during college I just kept going with it.
 
Family?  Pets?
 
I love animals and would love to have a pet, but now isn’t the right time. My immediate family live in NYC, so we get together every often.
 
What do you do for fun? How do you spend your time outside of CSBM?
 
I like to volunteer when I find myself bored and looking for something to do. I participate in this one monthly weekend project in the West Village which is a fun dance class activity for a group of kids who reside at a homeless shelter in the Bronx. They are bused in on a yellow bus.

What cause(s) are you passionate about?  Why this cause?
 
The volunteering previously mentioned. It started out as just something to kill time, but the kids really grow on you. They say and do funny things, plus, they always look forward to seeing familiar faces each month and get excited to see you when they arrive and run up and hug you.
 
Any upcoming travel plans?

Nothing planned, I have been brainstorming where to travel to next. There are so many places I’d like to visit.

Any recommendations…books, movies, restaurants, theater, exhibits, etc...?
 
I went to view a performance of the New York City Ballet’s Swan Lake in mid-February. I like dance and it was such just a great show with great choreography… I highly recommend!
