About Richard Gonzalez

As a member of the Fundraising Committee at ALPFA UNC Charlotte, I have been involved in planning and coordinating 8 fundraising events, increasing student engagement and generating financial support. I also supported the organization of 12+ networking and finance-related events by ensuring sufficient funding and resources. Additionally, I have developed promotional strategies to increase participation in finance events as the Physical Promotion Manager at the Investment Club at UNC Charlotte. I manage the distribution of marketing materials and coordinate physical advertising efforts to attract students interested in finance and investing. In my current role as a Grocery Clerk at Publix Super Markets, I provide friendly customer assistance, sort and organize merchandise, assist in unloading and inspecting products, and count and calculate cash in the cash register quickly and efficiently. I am currently pursuing my degree at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where I expect to graduate in 2026. I have skills in investments, marketing strategy, and management.
