The Illiterate Koala Checking In!

Hello, everyone!

I have been reading the forums for a while now and have decided to create a profile so I can chime in if I can add value to the discussion.

I am a current undergraduate at a very non-target school, so my aspirations are fairly tempered at this point. My short-term goal is to work for a MM I-bank in, preferably, a HY group, however, I am not opposed to seizing an opportunity if it checks all (most) of the boxes.

I'll stop myself there so I do not ramble any further. I look forward to being a part of this community, and will do my best to answer any additional questions you all may have!
