Frank Lattyak, Options Clearing Corporation (OCC)
Entering the Actuarial Science program, I was looking for a career change. While my courses focused on applied mathematical risk analysis, they fostered the development of business skills. These strengths have really carried through in my current role as Enterprise Risk Analyst—a position that began as an internship as a curriculum requirement but that has turned into a full-time position.
