Mathematics Alumni in Graduate School

Jessica Scheld '05

Jessica ScheldI am pursuing Graduate School in Mathematics at the University of Vermont. I previously worked at Windham Capital Management in Cambridge, MA. There, I was responsible for developing a manual for a program they had prepared for their customers. The company focused on currency hedging and the program is meant for fund managers and customers interested in hedge funds.

After graduation, I will begin my job search. I'm hoping to work in finance for the next few years, but my ultimate goal is to return to school to get a Ph.D and become a mathematics professor at a small, liberal arts college.

My education at Saint Michael’s has aided considerably in my current education at UVM. Aside from the education I received, Saint Michael’s provided me with connections, internships, and independent research options to develop my mathematics knowledge further.
