"...everyday I'm hustlin..."


Graduate Finance Student. 2 Jobs: Full-Time Retail Supervisor. Part-Time Retail Sales Associate. Member of AKA Sorority. Member of Young Professionals of Urban League. Whew....and the list continues...

Cami Morrison certainly knows a thing or two about how to stay busy... Most mornings, Cami wakes up at 6 a.m. and goes to sleep around 1 a.m., with little sleep she is able to conquer the world and still find time to be involved in extracurricular activities. She puts in the extra effort now, knowing that all her hard work will pay off after she graduates from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Master's Degree in Finance, after which she plans to pursue a career in Corporate Finance where making the BIG bucks comes easily. So yes, Cami is putting in more than 12 hours of studying/work everyday but it will all be worth it (and that's all that matters!) Cami's story doesn't come without trial and error, as she was concerned about being accepted into her graduate school of choice, confused about her future career endeavors, and was stressed about work and money. But, she persevered and got accepted into graduate school with an unexpected scholarship and has been able to successfully manage school and 2 jobs. Cami exemplifies what it takes to build a solid foundation for success. FAB can't wait to see what the future holds for this academic graduate student turned financial corporate executive!
