To be honest, I had no intention of pursuing a career in finance, let alone a career at Goldman Sachs, in my early years as a university undergraduate. My original plans were to follow in my father’s footsteps to pursue a career in medicine.

As I started to develop a genuine interest in finance, markets and investing, I had preconceptions that you had to be a certain type with a particular background to pursue a career in finance. Today, I realize that most of those preconceptions were inaccurate, especially here at Goldman Sachs. Everyone comes from diverse backgrounds and experiences, and because of that, they bring different perspectives to the table when working as a team to find solutions for clients. What everyone does have in common is a combination of incredible drive, motivation, humor and a commitment to excellence.
