The Santa Clara Investment Fund (SCIF) manages a portion of Santa Clara University’s endowment funds, while helping our members build strong connections and achieve their competitive career goals.
I joined as a freshman to gain first-hand analyst experience and to surround myself with highly motivated peers. Many SCIF members helped me navigate recruitment into the worlds of investment banking and private equity. As a people-oriented person, I was able to frequently network with professionals from every industry— ranging from consulting, to financial technology, to investment banking, and beyond.
I am committed to growing the professional pipeline for SCU students with an interest in investing. I am particularly passionate about improving diversity on Wall Street, by encouraging students from all backgrounds and majors to apply to SCIF each Fall. SCIF has been an invaluable resource throughout my time at SCU, thanks to its brilliant, ambitious, and supportive community.
Queer & Qualified (QQ) is a student organization focused on building community and opportunity for LGBTQ+ students and allies across campus. Our mission is to improve professional development, support, and mentorship within the LGBTQ+ community at SCU.
I joined QQ to be a part of a community that empowers me to excel professionally, personally, and authentically. I was drawn to QQ’s wide range of events, particularly our speaker series, networking socials, and trips to San Francisco.
Since QQ is open to students from all backgrounds, I love fostering lasting connections between our members in business, engineering, tech, humanities, and beyond. It is rewarding to see our members succeed and join companies committed to making a real impact in the professional world.
