Brady Lavin is a freshman in the McDonough School of Business, pursuing majors in finance and accounting. He is originally from Elmhurst, IL, a suburb of Chicago, and came to Georgetown because of his interest in the convergence of government and business. On campus, he is a vice president in the Media & Communications Group at the Georgetown University Student Investment Fund (GUSIF), and is also an active member of Hilltop Consultants and the Georgetown University Alumni & Student Federal Credit Union (GUASFCU). In his free time, he enjoys country music, stand-up comedy, cheering on the Chicago Bears, and staying active through running and pick-up basketball.
Lavin became interested in the intersection of financial markets and public policy through his love of daily reading and following current events, and became involved with the Psaros Center by volunteering at Governor Lisa Cook’s address at the McDonough School of Business. This experience spurred his interest in the FinPolicy Trek, where he hopes to develop a more holistic perspective on how firms react to dynamic market conditions, especially within regulatory frameworks. He is also excited to stay involved with the Psaros Center in the future by conducting research to further his understanding of global finance, especially within an investment context.
