Taylor Manley
Investment Operations Associate, Cambridge Associates, Washington, DC “Upon enrolling in the MSF Program, I immediately took advantage of the abundance of resources the MSF Career Center offers to learn how to articulate the inherent value of the MSF degree. This was a truly defining moment in my job search process and career trajectory; I am grateful to have access to some of the best career advisors and resources in the country.”
Sarah Capozzo-Colonnese
Senior Fixed Income Analyst, Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors, New York, NY “Georgetown is a globally recognized, highly regarded institution with distinguished professors. Most importantly, the hybrid format makes a Georgetown degree accessible as it allows me to continue to work full-time from my home near New York City while gaining experience, knowledge, and opportunity to study alongside colleagues from across industries and geographic areas.”
Kevin McGee
Manager and Project Consultant, Texas Metal Castings, Lufkin, TX “I chose the Georgetown MSF to help me make a career change. During my first semester, I enrolled in the optional MSF Career Course. I left the course with both a renewed confidence in my abilities, as well as a wealth of practical knowledge that I can immediately utilize in my job search. Taking the course was one of the best decisions I made as it offers infinite utility to be leveraged now and in the future.”
A Student’s Point of View Keaton Austin
Agency CMBS Trader, Fannie Mae, Washington, DC “As a current student, the Georgetown MSF program is providing exactly what I need to achieve my goals. The high level of student participation in the weekly live sessions and discussion of real-world scenarios gives me the opportunity to hear a broad range of opinions and approaches to the problem cases. This highly involved methodology and the care with which professors deliver the material ensures that what we learn will stick with us.”
Leshemah Israel
Finance and Accounting Intern, Procter and Gamble, Boston, MA “Before joining the program, I was a secondary math teacher with no finance background. I decided to pursue this degree to make a career transition. The MSF experience has surpassed my expectations. The faculty, program staff, career advisors, and my classmates all help to provide an environment in which everyone can excel. As long as you put the work in and reach out when you need help, you can expect to gain tremendous benefits from the program!”
Andrew Shields
Supervisory Management Analyst, Government Intelligence, Washington, DC “As a dad to two young children, flexibility in how and where I learn is important. It’s the flexibility that the Georgetown MSF provides along with a wealth of unique experiences like the MSF Summer Clinics and the Global Consulting Project that truly had me hooked. By leveraging relationships with classmates and Georgetown’s broad and highly engaged alumni network, I will be able to successfully move into my next job outside of government very soon.”
