Derek Gallagher Email & Phone Number

I strive for excellence. In my academics I strive to always be engaged and to further expand my knowledge of the business world. Within my work I not only accomplish the goals set forth with me by my employers, but also strive to develop relationships with clients that can lead to future collaboration. In my philanthropic pursuits I always put my best foot forward because success for myself is not the end goal, but rather the benefit that is seen within the people or communities I reach.My heart and mind are set on the Insurance Industry. I believe it is the best place to help people with the skill set I have. My goal is an occupation in either financial services or becoming an actuary. I have already taken and passed the Exam-P and the Exam-FM for the Society of Actuaries in 2018. I choose these occupations because I believe them to be areas where I can best put my analytical skills, but to also utilize my interpersonal skills with clients and associates to find mutually beneficial outcomes.Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling and broadening my horizons. I have traveled to China on several occasions and have completed two Study Abroad programs with Rutgers in Ireland and Spain. In my spare time I mentor my little brother in fencing with epee, and assist him with his high school academics.
