About Steven Bauer

As a Senior studying Finance at Auburn University with the intent of pursuing a law career path post graduation. I am dedicated to my academic pursuits and my personal growth. As a student of Auburn my excellence extends beyond the classroom, as I am a proud brother of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, where I contribute to the social committee. This role his honed my team organization and communication skills, enriching my ability to work collaboratively with others. In addition, I am an active participant of the Pi Lambda Sigma Fraternity, an honors law society, being apart of the society has provided me with crucial insight and valuable information of what it takes to be in the legal field. Prior to my academic journey, I gained valuable experience as a server in the food industry. This experience has not only improved my team organization but also reinforced my worth ethic skills and ability to thrive in dynamic environments. Additionally, I spent three years as a data analyst in an office setting, collecting and organizing data related to patient visits. This role enhanced my analytical capabilities and attention to detail. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and I am eager to connect with professionals, students, and like-minded individuals that share the same enthusiasm for finance and law.
