Walk me through your post-secondary education and training. How do you feel it has prepared you for this role with Coinbase?

"I completed my Bachelor of Applied Technology from Carnegie Mellon University in 2004. During that time, I specialized in data management and analysis, which taught me how to grasp abstract data models to effectively help drive better decision-making for my team at Coinbase. Additionally, my capstone project helped me sharpen my teamwork skills and ability to work with a variety of perspectives."

"I hold a bachelor's degree in finance with a minor in computer science from Penn State. After graduating, I moved to New York and spent two and a half years in IB with (XYZ) Bank. During that time, my interest in crypto slowly developed, and I began spending my free time learning all that I could about this space and trading. I feel that my formal education gave me the hard and soft skills I needed for success in IB and to be successful in this role with Coinbase. Above all, my education and early career were both quite demanding, and I learned how to effectively prioritize tasks and work under pressure."
