MESSAGE FROM AN ECON ALUM

Dear students,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Melissa Chang, and I graduated from UVa as a Math and Economics major in May 2016. I am now working as an actuary at New York Life Insurance Company and am reaching out to share actuarial internship and full-time opportunities available at our New York City office.

Actuary
An actuary analyzes the financial consequences of risk using mathematics, statistics, and financial theory. I became interested in actuarial work because it marries mathematical problems with a business approach. There is much information to be found on http://beanactuary.com/">beanactuary.com, which has compiled a http://beanactuary.com/what/top/?fa=articles">set of articles featuring the actuarial profession as a desirable career.

New York Life
New York Life is the largest mutual life insurance company in the United States. Ranked as a Fortune 100 company, New York Life has provided its policyholders with financial security and investment opportunities since 1841. As a mutual company, New York Life is owned solely by its policyholders, to whom it pays annual dividends and provides long-term coverage on a wide range of insurance and investment products.
