This file contains a description of a current Citi employee and description of the employee experience through a set of questions and answers. Citi's global perspective, ability to recognize and adapt to industry change, dedication to its clients and employees, and commitment to diversity have all helped the firm to become the one of the most profitable Financial Institutions in the world. In addition, by adapting to the changing financial environment and investing in our employees we have ensured that Citi will remain at the forefront of our business.

]]> Citi is filled with some of the most talented people in the industry. Everyone I work with is deeply committed to their area of expertise and I am constantly reminded of the intelligence, dedication, and entreprenurial spirit of the people here. Although a certain level of competition exists, there is an overall atmosphere of cooperation and camaraderie throughout the firm. It is this combination of attributes that makes this a dynamic and exciting place to be and makes me proud to work here.

]]> In my current role I have the opportunity to work with many different parts of the firm including other areas within Quantitative Analysis, a majority of the Fixed Income trading desks, Fixed Income sales, various proprietary trading desks, In-business Risk Management, Independent Market Risk Management, Financial Control, Investment Banking, Risk Architecture, Mortgage Analytics, Trade Support, and Technology.

]]> I graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Operations Research/Industrial Engineering in 1992. Throughout my 15 years at Citi I have applied and leveraged my quantitative background to help solve internal and external client problems such as portfolio optimization and hedging, writing and beta testing new models, and analyzing the risk of desk's positions. One of the most interesting aspects of my job is visiting clients and communicating the results of our analyses. While my engineering education certainly gave me a strong base of skills, a majority of my knowledge and expertise came from the incredible formal and informal training I have received throughout my career. In Quantitative Analysis I still get to learn new things everyday.

]]> Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children ages 3 and 6. As a family, we enjoy skiing, swimming and going to the beach. I coach my older son’s soccer team and volunteer at both of their schools in various capacities. In my spare time I also enjoy reading, cooking and exercising.
