I began my career in a year-long training program with another financial company. This program gave me the opportunity to spend three months on the NYSE, the AMEX (trading single stock options), an upstairs arbitrage/prop trading desk and lastly their NASDAQ market making desk. Ultimately, I was hired full-time on the NASDAQ desk and worked there as an equity market maker for five years. I migrated into a sales trading role when I came to Goldman Sachs.

My first few days working at the firm, I was humbled by the dynamic workforce. Everyone was extremely driven and there was an impressive coordination of global teamwork.
