- Graduate school interests
Interested in the evolution of retirement systems as influence of organized labor wanes and fewer companies offer pension plans. The future of retirement savings for all workers will depend on the accessibility of stock equities, the bond market and other more esoteric financial instruments not easily understood and leveraged by working individuals. I am interested in the growth of our current financial infrastructure to meet the needs of a population struggling against the poverty line.
