Amaia said she desires to pursue a career related to the allocation of capital based on the historical exclusion of underrepresented groups, specifically the Black community, from wealth-building activities.
She mentioned that being raised in a family business setting gave her a direct understanding of how money can bring about positive changes in minority communities. Amaia added that her studies and research in economics have enabled her to examine problems related to the unequal distribution of resources.
After graduation, Amaia said she will join Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO) as an investment analyst. She wants to be a bridge of understanding where capital is not just seen as a means for gaining material wealth but as a mechanism for social change.
