Bio
My name is Evan, and I will be starting my MBA at Cornell this August. Following my MBA, I plan to transition into a general management role within a family business. I hold a BBA with a concentration in Finance from Emory University. Over the past five years, I have gained extensive experience in corporate finance, including participation in a leadership development program at a Fortune 50 company. In addition to my professional work, I am passionate about teaching. During my time in college, I led financial literacy education for our investment club and was selected to teach Health 100, a required first-year course, for two consecutive years. I am a very social person who loves spending time with friends. I enjoy action sports and being outdoors. After work, you can typically find me at the gym or cooking.Project ideas
Financial Literacy Research Essay
I taught financial literacy in underprivileged schools for two years and developed the curriculum still used by the Goizueta Investment Management Group. I am eager to continue this work and collaborate with my students to explore the challenges Americans face regarding financial education and stability. Together, we aim to write an essay that highlights basic strategies high school students can adopt to prepare for their future, both in the short and long term.
Examining the Potential Future Effects of AI on the U.S. Job Market
In my current role, I use AI almost daily, and during my undergraduate studies, I took a class examining its potential effects on the job market. I would work with my student to write an essay exploring the potential pros and cons of AI in relation to the U.S. job market and economy, ending with them forming an opinion on their prediction.
Examining the Standardized Testing Industry and Its Detrimental Effects on Lower-Income Individuals
Beginning in 2nd grade with the Iowa Test and most recently with the GRE for grad school, I have taken over 30 official standardized tests. Early on, it became apparent to me that those who could afford tutors had a significant advantage in performing better. I would collaborate with my student to write an essay examining the standardized testing industry as a business and analyzing the detrimental effects these tests have on individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
