Spotlight Questions
- Why did you join Waldron?
- I decided to join Waldron after leaving a smaller wealth management company in my hometown to work at BNY Mellon. I quickly learned that working for a large company was not for me. Once I had coffee with my future manager early on in my interview process, I knew it was the place I wanted to start my career. I came to the office to meet the team and it immediately felt right to me. I remember emailing the hiring managers every other day until they finally called me. I think I wore them down.
- What is the best advice you have ever received?
- Be present and enjoy the little things.
- What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?
- I love reading fiction, specifically horror novels. I hope to write one of my own someday.
- What is your favorite memory since working at Waldron?
- There are so many. One of my favorite memories at Waldron was when a colleague turned 35 and we decorated his desk for his 40th. We had “Happy 40th Birthday” put on the TV’s in the office and everyone believed us. I can’t wait until next year when he turns 50. One year equals 5 to 10 years for him.
