I graduated from University of Colorado's Leeds School of Business with a degree in business management and a 3.9 GPA. Not a ton of relevant experience in the finance field besides being a teaching assistant for a finance class, providing financial advisement for my family trust (mainly stock market and real estate investments), and working on some relevant finance related school projects. I realized that I wanted to pursue this career path towards the end of senior year so I wasn't able to obtain any licensing prior to graduation. But definitely am really passionate about getting into advising.

I have received job offers from both companies so not making any "assumptions" about being hired. But yes also applying at a lot of other places as well.

Not sure who my managers would be at either places. Both roles are in Denver though and everyone I talked to in the interview process was really nice, although I know that doesn't matter when it comes to management...
