#OwnIt

Meet Cassidy Brenegan, a junior Mathematics and Computer Science major!

This past summer, Cassidy interned at Schonfeld Strategic Advisors as a Reference Data Operations Intern, where she gained valuable insight into the finance industry while utilizing and building on her quantitative skills.

On campus, she is involved in professional organizations such as TAMID and Alpha Kappa Psi, which help her grow both personally and professionally.

To strengthen her career development, Cassidy has been dedicated to practicing interview skills and expanding her knowledge to prepare for both internship and post-grad opportunities.
