Erica Li
Biography
Fun Fact: I fractured my ankle my first-year of college while bouldering after completing a 24-hour hackathon and not sleeping! Thrilling experience.
Hi! My name is Erica Li and I'm from New York City (Queens!). I'm planning on double concentrating in Applied Mathematics-Economics and Visual Arts while still taking some electives in other fields as well. I'm super excited to delve into the research opportunities I can take on this year whether it is higher mathematics or theoretical/quantitative economics. In my free time, you can find me training for my half-marathon, hopping between Providence's various cafes, and eyeing the stock market.
Research
This summer I have been lucky to land an Equity Research Internship at UBS where I am working on the US REITs team. REITs are super tied into the general macro environment, and so it has been super cool to see how the current news (politics, changing interest rates, unemployment rates) have been affecting the REITs industry. I have learned a lot about the different metrics that go into rating a REIT stock specifically and have brushed up on my financial modeling skills.
