Amanda Chen is a Incoming Portfolio Management Analyst at NISA Investment Advisors, LLC. Colleagues describe her as "Amanda is a driven individual with a remarkable set of abilities. I had the privilege of directly supervising and instructing her during her first semester as a freshman at the University of Illinois, specifically within the Investment Portfolio Organization. Amanda constantly challenges herself, always with the goal of growing her knowledge base. In a team environment, she is outspoken and inquisitive, asking the questions that others won't. While collaborating with her team members to develop their stock pitch presentation, she was detailed and engaged. She went above and beyond to support team members and push the project forward. I am confident that in the future, she will be ready to apply these skills in a professional setting. John"
