I chose to study finance at VCU Business because I loved thinking about how firms are making their money and how they might be able to grow their business in the future through different investments. Through the VCU Finance program, I have gained much experience with corporate finance through my classes, and being so close to downtown Richmond, I've been able to gain real-life experience as well.
