Lacrosse conditioned in me a mindset and temperament that I leaned on throughout the networking, the application, and when it came to it, the interviewing stages. I draw on these intangibles - such as the need to think quickly on my feet, to stay resourceful, and to be a self-starter - every day."
"Crutchfield started out as a sophomore summer intern at Goldman Sachs in 2016, and has worked her way up the firm for the last seven years as a full-timer. Today, she's a vice president in equity derivative sales, and attributes a lot of her success to the skills she gained from playing lacrosse."
