Daron Murphy

Majored in Economics
The University of Scranton, Class of 2017
From Newtown, PA
I am currently working towards my dual degrees in Economics and Finance at the Kania School of Management at the University of Scranton. I am passionate about and motivated to succeed in the world of business. While at school, I have developed individual strengths like leadership, but have also gained experience and appreciation of the qualities and assets that a team can provide in order to manifest goals. While at school, my main areas of interests on campus have been the student newspaper, The Aquinas, and the student run investment portfolio, abbreviated as PRISM. While writing for the newspaper, I have improved my writing skills and analytical abilities as I have had to research the market and have knowledge of economic factors relevant to business. As a stock analyst for PRISM, I have made use of the Bloomberg terminals, tracking individual stocks and using financial analysis to help make beneficial decisions for the club. While a member, a team member and I successfully pitched to buy shares FedEx and and the portfolio is currently valued at over $300,000. When not engrossed in business activities, I work as a tutor for the university's Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence. I will meet with students weekly to asses academic needs and work towards resolving any concerns. I also am a member of the drop-in tutoring sessions, where students can stop by any time, and I can help them with classes included in the business curriculum, such as Accounting, Economics, and Statistics. As I have a passion for service, I volunteer weekly at Elm Park United Methodist Church in Scranton, PA. While there, I tutor one-on-one with a student in middle-school or high-school, focusing mainly on mathematics.
