]]> I am truly challenged by my job. It’s intellectually compelling and complicated – I learn something or meet someone new every day.

]]> Without a doubt, it’s the people. Throughout the organization, the people I work with are the ones that make this a great place to work.

]]> My team is energetic, thoughtful and hard-working. My colleagues are diverse, knowledgeable and experts in their field.

]]> Businesses that require funding such as Fixed Income, Equities, and large M&A transactions; other functional groups within Finance including Accounting Policy, Controllers, Planning and Tax; other businesses/groups outside of the CMB but which are part of the Citi family including Global Wealth Management and Corporate (Treasury, Planning, Controllers).

]]> I leave my house at 5:00 each morning to get yelled at by ex-Marine Corps drill sergeants – this is my “bootcamp” workout. By the time I get in the office (around 7), I feel invigorated and feel that I can tackle anything that anyone throws my way.
