I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Missouri and then received both my Master of Business Administration and Master of Science in Finance from Creighton University.
After graduation, I worked in the pension consulting industry. During my time, in pension consulting, I worked primarily with portfolio construction, asset allocation, and investment analysis. During this time I earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation and the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) designation.

For as long as I can remember I have always had an interest in economics. I often joke that I started learning economics from the womb because my mother was an economics professor for 35 years and the principal of the college she taught at in India where I grew up.
Before coming to Omaha in 2007, I worked at PepsiCo. It was a great learning experience on how individuals make their decisions and choices. I have been working at First National Bank since 2007 and being part of a bank has meant exposure to all aspects of macro economic activities.
It was not a straight path for me, but I think ultimately it helped me because I gained a wide variety of experience. After college, I worked in purchasing for catalog companies.

It has been a long time since I updated the blog. In fact, it's been a full two terms since my last post, which was over eighteen weeks ago. They have been among the busiest eighteen weeks of my life, and I'm excited to share these many changes with you.
