Class of 2026
Major in Political Science (Political Economy concentration), Certificate in Markets and Management Studies

I'm a senior majoring in Political Economy with a certificate in Markets and Management Studies. After I graduate, I plan to return to Deutsche Bank, where I interned this past summer in their Financial Institutions investment banking coverage group. As the son of two lawyers, I came into college believing that law school was the path I wanted to go down; despite deciding that right now I want to pursue finance, I could certainly see myself going to law school down the line. At Duke, I co-founded the Business Ethics club, and am involved with Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.

Favorite Class: My favorite class at Duke was Political Science 262: The Holocaust. I enjoyed it so much because of how knowledgable the professor was, bringing in stories and a perspective that I never could have otherwise gotten. As a Jew with family who escaped from Nazi Germany, this class was also a much more personal interest than others I have taken.
