About

My name is Kevin(Jiance) Xiao and I am currently a junior at University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in Actuarial Science and Finance. I have passed two Actuarial Exams, Exam FM and Exam P and I will be sitting for Exam MLC in the spring of 2016.
During the course of my life, I have been living in three different continents, Asia, Europe and North America. This unique experience helped me to develop a global mindset and contributed to my diversified background.
I made my decision to become an actuary when I was a junior in high school, and the education and work experience I gained all confirmed my expectation of the profession. As an aspiring actuary, I am passionate for my career as an actuary and I look forward to start it soon.
