About Jackson McCarey

I’m a Finance major at Indiana University, originally from Wilmette, Illinois, and a proud graduate of New Trier High School. My journey has been shaped by a strong commitment to excellence in academics, athletics, and leadership. As a 3-sport varsity athlete throughout high school and a youth athletics coach, I developed a deep appreciation for teamwork, discipline, and mentorship—qualities that continue to guide me in all areas of life.One of my greatest strengths is my social skills, which allow me to connect with others, build relationships, and work effectively in collaborative environments. These skills have been key to my success across various roles, from engaging with customers in the restaurant industry to leading marketing initiatives and working with teams in high-pressure settings.During my internship at C2 Capital Management LLC, I honed my data analysis and financial modeling skills using Excel. By creating tables and graphs to analyze stock trends and implementing a more accurate data collection process, I enhanced the firms output and benefited clients. This experience reinforced my technical expertise and ability to deliver precise results.In addition to my finance background, I’ve gained valuable experience in marketing and customer service. As a Social Media Designer for the Winnetka Youth Organization, I implemented a multi-pronged social marketing campaign that boosted student engagement and attendance at youth board meetings. My roles in the restaurant industry further sharpened my multitasking abilities, adaptability, and work ethic.My strengths lie in my analytical mindset, leadership, and social skills, paired with a proactive approach to challenges. Looking ahead, I aim to combine my financial acumen with my interpersonal and leadership abilities in roles that drive innovation and impact. If you have advice, opportunities, or connections in finance, I\'d love to connect!
