Bio

My name is Giselle Alexander, and I am an investor. You're probably picturing a girl hunched over her computer, glasses on, eyes glazing over figures, charts with squiggly red lines, furiously typing. While that is accurate, and I do have a possibly problematic obsession with the stock market, the NYSE is not the only market I invest into.   I invest into everything that I do, my job, friends, and most importantly, myself. Allow me to pitch myself to you! I'm hardworking with a newfound perception of my limits. As a first year in college, I began working 2 jobs to pay for college, but after ending one of my classes with a D+, ultimately decided to leave one to focus on school. (Consider that a reason for a dip in my Q2 results). I find my own opportunities. As a freshman, I joined the Strategic Investor's Program and completed high-level coursework, on top of my regular classes. (Increase in assets!) I am collaborative and ready to learn! I was recently selected as the only first-year into the prestigious Dean's Investment Group at UCSB, managing a portfolio worth over $500,000. (More than enough cash to cover my debt) I am in for the long run! I'm not one of those companies that crashes when the Fed finally cuts interest rates. In high school I graduated valedictorian with a 4.46 GPA, president of ASB and FFA, a state-recognized public speaker, and a National Hispanic Recognition Scholar by College Board while overcoming challenges due to epilepsy. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my bio! I would love for you to invest in me!
