About Shal

• I have been fascinated and passionate about finance, investing and the stock markets since I was a teenager, and I parlayed this interest into a career on Wall Street. I have over two decades of investment experience and also extensive personal and professional experience in investing. • Professionally, I interned in various bulge bracket firms during college and also at an investment management firm during business school. Specifically, I have worked in Morgan Stanley as an investment banking analyst in M&A, in Putnam Investments as a summer MBA intern, Merrill Lynch in sell-side equity research after business school and then Goldman Sachs in a variety of roles but most recently, as a Vice President in the Growth Equity Team in Goldman Sachs Asset Management. • I have founded my own company, SHALnCO, where I teach women how to invest in the stock market. (www.shalnco.com). • I have a unique perspective on the financial services industry, especially as I have also been the only woman on an all-male team on multiple occasions. • I have an undergraduate degree in Economics from Princeton University (1998) and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard University (2002). I am also a CFA Charterholder and a member of the CFA Institute. • I applied to and was accepted into Harvard Business School with only two years of work experience. I have successfully helped many candidates with their MBA applications to top MBA programs and positioned them for success. • I also love to travel and write and have self-published some books (available on Amazon). I look forward to helping you achieve your MBA and/or finance goals!
