Melissa Tirendi

I am currently residing in Phoenix, Arizona but will return to Tucson to finish my final semester at the University of Arizona. Come December, I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a concentration in Portuguese and a Bachelor's of Science in Business Administration in Business Economics. I am motivated by a drive to enter the financial services industry, with particular interest in equity and fixed income trading.

I have a passion for learning, helping others, and working with special needs children and adults. I enjoy reading literature, fiction, and the news (I prefer the Wall Street Journal and the Economist), studying English and learning new languages. I cook regularly and love trying new foods, as well as traveling, yoga, and hiking.

I'm a big fan of the Strengths Finder 2.0. My top-5 strengths are:

1) Intellection

2) Responsibility

3) Emphathy

4) Achiever

5) Developer
