 <\/p>\n

1. In one sentence, what does your job entail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Highland Electric Transportation (HET), a national provider of EV school bus financing and services, I arrange innovative financing structures for fleet electrification projects on behalf of school districts looking to convert their vehicles to electric.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. What were you involved in when you were on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In additional to course work within the Economics and Environmental Studies programs, I participated in the Student Managed Endowment Fund (SMEF), College Choir and Admissions Office.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an Economics major, I had interest in how new financing products and business models (specifically in energy) could unlock opportunities and value in traditional markets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross? How did you learn\/decide it was a good fit for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

While at HC, I regularly attended events which brought alumni to campus and through that process was introduced to the GE FMP program, my first career move. I was consistently impressed by alumni from GE and decided I wanted the same strong foundation for my own career.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Critical thinking. My broad spectrum of coursework at HC prepared me well to objectively review big picture issues while simultaneously managing details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
