Bachelor of Mathematics and Finance (Dean’s Scholar)
University Medal (2016) for outstanding academic performance
Businesses need people who can solve problems. Things are always evolving and while learning a trade is valuable, the most important skills are being able to solve problems and adapt to new situations. That’s where my UOW degree has really helped me.

Bachelor of Mathematics and Finance (2003)
Portfolio Manager/Analyst at Macquarie Group, where he is part of a team responsible for $13 billion in funds.
The critical thinking and problem solving skills I gained studying mathematics/statistics at UOW have been invaluable. My exposure to statistical software packages was also extremely useful. I learned that creating the figures is not enough. Allowing those figures to tell a story about the underlying data is where the power of statistics lies.
