My name is Anna Zhang and I am currently an associate at Rockpoint Group, a real estate private equity firm headquartered in Boston. Prior to my current role, I was an investment banking analyst in the Real Estate, Gaming & Lodging group at BofA Securities in New York. I grew up in Singapore before graduating from New York University's Stern School of Business in 2022. After college, I pursued a career in investment banking because I wanted the opportunity to build a foundation of technical knowledge and transferable skills, and the role provides a great platform to start learning about the finance industry. Real estate, in particular, was really interesting to me in how it underpins and connects to other sectors. Happy to connect! 

My name is Michael Likogiannis and I am currently a Strategy Consultant at Bank of America covering Global Markets and the Private Bank. I began my career at Bank of America as an analyst in the Mergers & Acquisitions group focused on technology companies, initially based out of the Palo Alto office and later transferred to the NYC office. My interest in investment banking was driven by my desire to work in a challenging, fast-paced environment that taught me a strong foundational skillset I could later use as an investor, operator or founder. I graduated from Rowan University magna cum laude in 2020 with a B.S. in Finance and Accounting. Despite attending a non-target school, I creatively found a way into the industry. I would be happy to share my playbook or discuss various career topics such as recruiting now that I’ve been on the other side of the process – just reach out!

My name is Justin Huang and I am currently an analyst at BDT & MSD Partners, where I work on transaction analysis and execution of investments and strategic advisory assignments. I graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration and a B.A. in Economics from the University of California, Berkeley. I'm originally from Sydney, Australia, and moved around a few different countries, so I'm able to speak to recruiting as an international student. Happy to chat about recruiting, interviewing, and career paths in general.

My name is Drew Duff and I am currently a Senior Consultant at Deloitte, based out of New York City. My journey began when I moved to Brazil to live and work for several years at the U.S. Department of State. Around this same period, I chose to double major in Economics & International Affairs at Wake Forest University. Consulting offered the prospect of addressing complex social, financial, and health issues through private-sector solutions. I found this opportunity fascinating and consequently, at Deloitte I now focus on helping clients make strategic choices to solve challenges within the Financial Services and Life Sciences industries. In addition, as a member of Deloitte’s ALPFA committee (Association for Latino Professionals) I have worked hands-on to champion dozens of students and professionals from non-traditional backgrounds. I would be happy to chat on anything related to the consulting life and recruiting process.

Hello, my name is R.J. Shamberger, and I am a private equity associate at A&M Capital (an independent affiliate of Alvarez & Marsal Consulting) based in Greenwich, CT. Prior to my current position, I spent three years in Partners Group’s rotational analyst program based in Denver, CO where I spent time across their secondaries, private credit, and buyout business services teams. In my current role, I focus on executing majority buyouts in the middle market for transactions up to $200 million.

I am originally from Charlotte, NC and earned my BA in Economics from Williams College in Massachusetts. I spent my first-year post-grad as a teaching assistant at a New England boarding school before transitioning into private equity. As someone with a non-traditional background, I can relate to the daunting task of breaking into finance and am always happy to share the ins-and-outs of how I worked my way from the classroom to the desk as well as the lessons I learned along the way.
