Alumni Profile:
Sarah Favaro ’10 BSBA (Finance and Entrepreneurship)

“I was able to leverage what I learned in the Applied Portfolio Management class to get interviews and build my confidence.”

Sarah Favaro went to Chicago following graduation without a job. Her career path opened when she found a job listing for an investment analyst with Northwestern Memorial HealthCare. 

Sarah has been with Sawdust Investment Management, a family office based in Chicago, for two years and is part of a team that manages assets on behalf of the family and foundation they endowed. The foundation has a simple, yet significant mission: “To support great organizations to enhance community, opportunity and well-being.” 

Sarah grew up playing competitive soccer and still plays in a co-ed league. In fact, that’s how she met her husband nearly 10 years ago.
