Current AEDP Associate

"The AEDP program has been incredibly valuable for my professional development ever since I started my actuarial journey. Getting practical advice and feedback from mentors who were once AEDP members has really pushed me to continuously improve and refine my skills. Their insights have been an influential driving force behind my career growth and help me navigate the intricacies of my day-to-day work."

"All three of my AEDP rotations were critical to building my actuarial skillset. But the AEDP is so much more than just rotations! Layering on leadership experiences – such as the recruiting team, intern committee, and continuing education task force – took my professional and personal development to the next level. The AEDP provides its members the opportunity to grow into influential business leaders from the start of their career."
