Hello and welcome to The Closing Belle: Diary of a Girl in Finance!
(Get it? It’s a portmanteau of the 4pm toll of the New York Stock Exchange and my gender!)
 |
| Fun Fact: In 2014, I sliced off 14 inches of hair to donate (That is the creepy mop I'm holding up in my hands)! I definitely plan to do it again! |
My name is Shellz, and I live in New York City! I grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey and came across the Hudson “via New England.” There, I attained a liberal arts degree in chemistry before delving into the world of investment management.
A lil bit beauty, a lil bit brains
My main objective in this blog is to bring more transparency into what it’s like to be a woman working in finance, and to share some of the thoughts and opinions I have around various life issues we experience as young, working professionals. At the same time, I love exploring beauty products and am kind of a product junkie. In other words, this blog will be a lil bit beauty and a lil bit brains!
Here, you’ll find
My experience working with a diversity of people:
Recap of interesting events I attended:
“Belle Tells”: Advice on exploring a finance career
Musings on bodily functions:
"Midtown Misadventures" - my embarrassing/not so proud moments:
Holy grail products that I love*
... Among other things like travel, fitness, the occasional DIY, etc.
Oh yeah, also if you haven’t noticed, I love playing with words — and fancy myself something of a punnoisseur ;)
