“FMA has given me the opportunity to hear from a variety of finance professionals, helping me narrow down my interest in the financial services industry and learn about things such as the CFA designation process. After one of our meetings, I had the chance to connect with the guest speaker who had presented that night, and because of this, I received an interview and ultimately a summer internship offer to work for him the following summer.”
