As a part of my work, I have conducted on-going analysis and monitoring of the risks involved in a variety of investment funds. I remained at the cutting edge of market research, for I must be aware of the subtlest differences amongst different funds. This invaluable work experience has not only steeled my stomach to risk, but has shown me the importance of mathematics and programming in the financial field. Quantitative data, properly studied, remains the most invaluable tool in risk management today.
I have also already begun my initial creative work in the field. Recently, I developed my first quantitative model at work, an original program using Excel to generate risk ratings for different funds, based on statis data. Through my employment as well I have broadened my knowledge base about derivates in the capital markets products, through direct involvement in transactions as well as self-study conducted at in-house seminars and courses.
From the diversity of my experiences I hope to leverage my the wealth and diversity of my knowledge and experiences before I re-enter the business world. I hope to learn from the experiences from my fellow students, as well as to add my own database of knowledge. Education itself is a qualified risk. Embarking upon a degree means a loss of workplace experiences and opportunities in the short-term of the economic moment. But education also provides a potential long-term reward. It is the investment strategy of increasing one's skills and quality of labor and judgment, taking the risk that this will better prepare one for the labor market and economy of the future. I am confident that my decision to hone my skills over the next year will offer an unprecedented opportunity for both myself and my future clients and employers to reap great personal and monetary rewards.
Personal Statement: Why I want to study law Ever since I was a young child, I have always wanted to study the law. Documents that have protected people's rights throughout the ages such as the United States Constitution and the Magna Carta seemed to me as sacred as the Bible. I always had an innate sense of justice and 'fairness.' I enjoy arguing and have never had any problems standing up
Personal Statement I have always admired people like Bill Gates and Michael Dell who started their own businesses while still in college, with hardly any startup money. They poured everything they had, and even neglected their studies, into a creative business venture. They relied on what they knew instinctually, in that case knowledge of computers, and also discovered a previously untapped market niche. I believe a lot of business sense is
There are people who feel confident because they are wealthy or beautiful. But when it comes from within, from a place inside you that has grown with experience and some hard work, then it gives you a kind of security which doesn't need attitude at all. When I was a young person in a new school, things were not always positive for me. I couldn't speak the same language
Pathologists are often called 'the doctor's doctor ' -- when other doctors are experiencing an impasse, they go to a pathologist for advice, to provide clarity. As someone who has always enjoyed working as a teacher and preparing teaching materials, I look forward to this role in relation to my fellow physicians. Upon arriving in the United States to practice medicine, I gained experience in the field of pathology-related research,
Personal Statement Successful completion of the Masters program in Health Care Management would mark a significant step forward in my plans for personal and professional development, providing the necessary education, experience, and qualifications to pursue a more advanced and meaningful career in health care management, perhaps as a nurse administrator. My practical and academic experience to this point have been devoted to the non-administrative aspects of providing nursing care to patients
Personal Statement Application for the Nurse Practitioner Program at UCSF I first experienced the duties of a nurse practitioner in WHATEVER, a small mountain village in Nepal. From 1996-1998, I worked as a Community Health Volunteer with the American Peace Corps.
