>> I went to Penn State.
I studied finance at Penn State.
And it wasn't so it was kind of more of a two-step process in terms of getting
to where I am now and figuring out that this was what I wanted to do.
And so the first step of that was kind of thinking that I was interested
in investment banking, and so coming into school I had no idea.
I always knew I was interested in finance, not sure about investment banking,
didn't even know what it was coming into school.
But then I'd say about my sophomore year is when I really started getting serious about it
and had spoken to a lot of people, lot of alumni and kind
of picked their brains on what they do, what they like.
And they kind of came to the conclusion investment banking was something
that I'd be interested in.
And so sophomore and junior year were kind of all about preparing for that and trying
to get ready and, you know, put my resume together, study for interviews, all that,
and then basically it's a matter of getting the internship, which is really important.
And then, you know, things worked out great and I ended up at Goldman Sachs for two years,
worked there, and then it was through that kind of first several months to the first year
that I was at Goldman that I kind of realized I wanted to do something different,
wanted to work at a hedge fund, and so that was kind of the second leg of that process.
