I started my career in 1990 straight out of High School. My first on Wall Street was at Fahnestock (currently Oppenheimer). I started in the industry as the Operation Managers Secretary and from there was taught customer and firm transfers. In 1994, I was introduced to Corporate Actions where I learned to process Redemptions. A few short months later I was processing Mandatory Corporate Actions and Voluntary Corporate Actions. It has been 30 years and still enjoy it.
