Hello, I'm Cooper Smith, currently in my third year at Penn State, pursuing a Finance major while complementing it with minors in Economics and International Business. Originally from Pittsburgh, my adventures have taken me across the United States, yet Pennsylvania has always felt like home. From a young age, I found my passion on the ski slopes, often combining family visits to the West Coast with our favorite activities: skiing and spending time with our cousins. Throughout high school, I actively participated in various sports, such as soccer and football, and even tried my hand at joining the tennis team during my junior year. Being part of a team environment has always been fulfilling, fostering a sense of camaraderie while working together towards shared objectives. This drive for collaboration led me to Penn State, where I've discovered new teams and numerous opportunities to engage with smaller groups. Currently, I'm a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, a business fraternity, and contribute to the Nittany Lion Fund, a student-run equity fund. Looking ahead, I'm excited about an upcoming internship at Vista Equity Partners, where I'll serve as a Private Equity Analyst during the summer.
