About Jason Abita

I am a Finance & Accounting major at Rutgers Business School with a passion for understanding how money moves, grows, and creates opportunity. What drew me to Finance is the challenge — it demands discipline, strategy, and the ability to thrive under pressure. Growing up as a first-generation college student, I’ve seen firsthand how financial literacy (or the lack of it) can shape lives. That’s why I’ve committed myself to mastering the world of Finance: not only to build a strong career for myself, but also to open doors for others.My long-term goal is to pursue a career in high finance — investment banking, private equity, or executive leadership — where I can contribute to complex deals, drive growth, and ultimately build generational talent for my family. At the same time, I want to use my platform to expand access to financial knowledge in underrepresented communities. Don\'t hesitate to connect with me!Whether it’s leading through my role in NABA, networking with industry professionals, or building side ventures, I’m always pushing myself toward growth. I thrive on challenges, embrace new opportunities, and am determined to leave a lasting impact both in business and in my community.
