DECA ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: ALANNA!
We are excited to highlight DECA alumna Alanna, who currently works as the Business Intelligence Manager for Risk & Compliance at PrizePicks in Atlanta, Georgia!
After graduating from Vanderbilt University with a double major in Mathematics and Spanish and a minor in Financial Economics, Alanna built a career in analytics. Today, she leads a team focused on fraud analytics, using data to protect the platform and create a positive experience for customers.
Alanna credits her business classes and DECA experience with helping her develop critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and communication skills that she continues to use in her career today.
Her advice to current high school students? Don’t feel like you have to commit to one career path right away! Give yourself the opportunity to explore, change your mind, and discover opportunities you may have never expected.
Thank you, Alanna, for sharing your experiences and advice with us! Once a Spartan, always a Spartan!
