Responsibilities:Daily tasks consist of auditing accounts to ensure that allocation of funds is correct.What I've Done Beyond Core Responsibilities:After fully understanding the responsibilities and processes of my role, I noticed opportunities for automation. Since then, I have developed multiple programs using VBA and SQL to automate 70% of my role, then taking that a step further to automate tasks for other team members. In building programs for my team I have had firsthand experience in the entire software development cycle: finding an opportunity, solving the problem, presenting my solution, getting feedback, improving the program, and final deployment and maintenance of the program.

I competed in a firm wide innovation challenge. The goal of the innovation challenge was to find an opportunity for improvement in the firm, develop a solution and then present to executives at the firm. Through the innovation challenge I gained experience in working closely with other group members, interviewing associates to find key pain-points and receiving feedback to improve the solution, and ultimately organizing information into a clear, concise, and relevant way to pitch to decision makers.-Panelist:I was hand selected to be on a panel alongside a Baird board member, managing director, and senior analyst. We spoke to high school students about learning experiences we have had, what we have learned throughout our careers, and advice we could offer.
