1. Why do you want to be a member of the Bowden Investment Group?
When I first heard about the Bowden Investment group, I was immediately intrigued.

As I read more about the group and researched the projects they work on, I realized that the work they do is exactly what I plan on doing in the future. I plan on using my degree to pursue a career in wealth and financial management. Becoming a member of the Bowden investment Group would give me first-hand experience helping manage and make decisions for a large portfolio.

I had the opportunity to sit in on meetings discussing market and economic analysis. Meeting and discussing with industry professionals is why I am excited by the opportunity to learn from the guidance of instructors such as Dr. Hadley and Mr. Poole.

Since my top five interest areas hit on a few different parts of business (management, finance, accounting, and sales) I figured that I should pick a mentor that is proficient in not only these fields, but also in other fields of business, just so I can get a taste of many business fields. Then I realized: To get an overview of all the areas in business, who better to select as my mentor than the president of a company? Every day presidents deal with situations that involve management, financing, marketing, accounting, and many other areas of business.
