Late Summer 2017
August 23, 2017
Magnetar Academy Year:
2014–2015
What are you doing now? Where are you studying?
I will attend Northwestern University in Fall of 2017.
What is the most recent financial decision you made?
The most recent financial decision I made was to save 75% of my income over the summer, so that I won't have to work as hard during my first semester of college.
What is the most important thing you learned from studying finance?
Magnetar taught me important life skills, in relation to finances, that I probably wouldn't have learned in my traditional classes. I learned about how to invest wisely and assess the stock market. I also learned about different methods of saving and investing my money.
What advice do you have for current Magnetar Academy students?
Students should try their hardest and pay close attention to what they are being taught by Magnetar Youth Academy because it may be a tool that is useful in the future.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?
5 Years: In 5 years, I see myself in my first year of medical or law school (I haven't decided yet). I would have also studied abroad at least twice due to my Global Health minor.
10 Years: In 10 years, I see myself as either a lawyer or a doctor trying to open her own practice on the southside of Chicago.
