Introduction

Q: What is worth more; a dollar today or a dollar tomorrow?


This is a simple question whose answer defines multiple underlying principles of the financial world that I am constantly surrounded by.
My name is Sara. I am a senior at Oregon State University and I love it here.
As you may have gathered, I am Finance Major (part of the College of Business) but I am also Minoring in Communication. I am interested in this field for many reasons. I want to better prepare myself for future interactions with my clients as my career choice is to be a Financial Consultant. Even though I will be doing a lot of number crunching I will still be interacting with many types of people, from co-workers to management to clients. I am very interested in how others interpret language, gestures, and the signals that make up our society.
Currently, I am the Oregon State Finance Club president. I feel that studying Communication has also impacted my work with the club, helping me to understand how to present and inform the students in an effective manner.

Outside of school, I love to run. I am always looking for the next 5k, 10k, or half marathon to support a great cause. I enjoy reading, anything besides textbooks, and my favorites include: The Great Gatsby, Game of Thrones, and Jurassic Park. I love spending my free time with best friends, boyfriend, and family. I am from McMinnville (about 45 minutes up 99W) and go home to visit my mom and brother whenever I get the chance. We consider ourselves a “football family” and love to watch NFL games and my brother’s high school football games. Go Chargers and Grizzlies!
A: A dollar is worth more today than it is tomorrow because you can invest that dollar today and it will start to earn money!
