Aspiring business professional strives to help other women navigate historically male-focused finance careers
“We’re excited that our first ASPIRER scholarship award in 2022 goes to Nandini Goyal—a bright young woman with a passion to be an impactful force in business finance,” said Cheryl O’Donoghue, CEO at Aspire2STEAM.org. “Like technology pioneer Nancy Ridge, the woman who sponsored her scholarship, Nandini endeavors to make her mark in a male-centered field by ultimately remaining true to herself and, in particular, her values.” Currently, Nandini is a student at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts pursing a Bachelor’s of Science in Economics and Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. “Economics is a topic that has always interested me and I love learning about how economic policies or shifts in our economy impacted the stock market and corporations worldwide,” said Nandini.“Being a woman and having the knowledge to take care of yourself financially is a value that’s
been important to me throughout my life and I believe being financially astute plays a crucial
role in getting ahead in any career, especially technology- and finance-related fields which have
long been known for favoring men over women.”
