Researched the effects of inflation and interest rates changes on the U.S. Treasury Market; focusing specifically on U.S. Treasury performance compared to that of the equity markets. I enjoyed the research process and the unique challenges of hypothesizing and testing to find meaningful results. • Analyzed datasets using both Bloomberg and Microsoft Excel software programs. • Developed hypotheses and tested for statistically significant conclusions. • Co-Authored an economic white paper proving that U.S. Treasuries provided a viable alternative to equity markets during times of market stress.
