I am Rod Beaucejour a Finance student at New Jersey City University School of business.

As a first-generation student, having been born in Haiti and moving here at a young age. I want to learn all I can about finance to be able to teach others from Haiti Financial Literacy.

My name is Neha Gupta and I am full-time student at NJCU. My major is finance, and I am minoring in accounting. I am the Secretary of FMA Chapter. My duty is to take notes during the meetings and distribute them to the attendees. Other duties include co-hosting events and managing discussion panels. I learned a lot from FMA and met a lot of interesting people in the finance department/career in finance. My future goal in finance is to work for a major corporation first and then get my MBA a few years later. With my MBA I would continue to work in the Finance field and gradually move up in positions.
There has always been a gender and racial gap in the business industry. As an African American woman, getting into the finance industry is a challenging yet rewarding aspiration. I’m not sure where I’ll be 5 years from now but hope to inspire other women who look like me and show them that there’s space for them in this industry too!
