About David:
I’m an international student from Mexico interested in working in corporate finance at Apple. I am part of the University of Texas Sailing Team and Texas Crew. I love to read and to play sports, and I always enjoy a good laugh.
Proudest Accomplishment:
I am proud to have been accepted into the University of Texas at Austin, and into the MSF program at the McCombs School of Business. I worked hard to be here, and I am making the most out of every opportunity that the university offers me.
Why did you choose the MSF Program?
I’ve always found the business world interesting, especially its mix of logical reasoning and human intuition. Finance is a great mix of both theory and practice. I can both study the subject in a formal manner, and then work with others to find the best solution to a financial problem. I especially like the interaction between the financial and engineering departments when planning a new product.
What are you most looking forward to in your program?
I look forward to learning plenty, more than I have up until now. I hope I learn lots form my classmates, who all come from diverse academic backgrounds. I want to be able to work with others and figure out how to do everything as best as we can.
