Priscilla Gracia (MSF ’22) shares her experience in the Daniels School of Business Master of Science in Finance program. Hear about how faculty mentored her and her growth through case competitions and the Student Managed Venture Fund (SMVF).
I’ve learned how to break down complex financial concepts and apply them in real-world situations. The courses didn’t just teach me theory; they helped me build a mindset for analysis and decision-making. More than giving me technical skills, the program helped me become more curious, more structured in my thinking, and more comfortable with uncertainty, which I know will be valuable in any role I take on next.”

The program’s combination of finance and analytics has strengthened my thinking and problem-solving skills. But more importantly, the program encourages you to take ownership—whether through case competitions, team projects, or networking events. I’ve learned to communicate insights, make decisions under pressure, and continuously refine my perspective."
