Devin Watkins Email and Phone Number

Born and raised in Kansas. Grew up in a small town and excelled in high school academics and extra curriculars like sports or clubs. When finishing high school, I was blessed with the opportunity to play collegiate baseball at a D1 NAIA private catholic institution. As a college athlete I have a 3.9 GPA and have continued to be involved in things outside of school. That involves balancing over 17 credit hours per semester to achieve two degrees, college baseball, and an internship. My pursuit for business continued by joining Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and competing nationally with a team. With my degrees in Actuary Science and Accounting, I plan to use what I have learned and apply it to my future endeavors. While at Saint Mary, I have been given the chance to be a part of a select group of individuals, The Spires Trading Team. The study of the purpose and function of equities markets and derivatives such as futures and options, and the importance to the overall economy. Discussions involve portfolio construction, diversification, portfolio hedging, and the "language of trading," related specifically to short dated listed option markets, The team also learns about the possible education paths and investment careers. Team members actively participate in investment selection and trade execution and prepare the daily P&L report for the University's Investment fund. We learn and grow each day in order to provide other full ride scholarships to students like me. Many of my Mentors have guided me to the man I am today, and I couldn't be more thankful.
