I worked as an ETF Trading Analyst at Virtu Financial from July 2022 to December 2022.

It was a challenging yet rewarding experience that helped me gain valuable skills and knowledge in the financial trading industry.

The coursework was challenging yet rewarding, and I gained a deeper understanding of the financial industry and its intricate workings. Overall, my graduate education has provided me with the foundation and tools to excel in a career in financial analysis and trading.
