She learned about the broad applicability of the AFC® credential and spoke with representatives from Magellan Financial, the Knowledge Bowl sponsor.
“Through Symposium, I found my first job out of college! Without Symposium, I am not sure I would have been able to find a job in what I love, financial counseling. And now I have that and a new adventure living in Alaska, too! If you are looking to for opportunities to seize, the symposium is a great place to be.”
