Year and Major: Shivani is a 3rd-year Economics and Film Major.

Internship Experience: Project Destined (2nd year summer) - Adani Realty (1st year summer).

What opportunities and knowledge has BREA introduced to you? “Brea mentorship program: one-on-one relationship with a mentor who has been such an important part of my career in terms of helping me understand the ins and outs of the industry. My second year internship (Project Destined). I was introduced to this internship through BREA members and even got help to prepare for the interview - preparing for interviews - getting comfortable with doing coffee chats and sending cold emails.”

What are your career goals and how has BREA helped you advance towards achieving them? “Being able to have a network in this industry which BREA really helped through the networking sessions and events like the industry night. Having a good understanding about the areas I am interested in, what it consitutes and how I can learn about those areas continuously. Being a part of society and attending the meetings in fall quarter gave me a chance to listen to speakers and alumni talk about their own experience which in turn helped me narrow down my choices. Discussing various changes in the laws or discussing asset classes and their performances or who a certain policy will affect the most all helped in understanding what it meant to be a professional in this industry.”
