Kelly Crowder, a 1990 Risk Management and Finance graduate, discusses steps in her life that took part in leading her to a successful career in risk management. From moving at the age of eight to her years at the University of Wisconsin, Crowder made the pivotal choice move to California to begin her career in risk management. Crowder has now been in California for 20 years where she currently works at Google as a risk manager.
Crowder credits her part of success to risk managment professors, Dan Anderson and Joan Schmit, for having "made insurance interesting and relevant--and it's no easy task to impart that to a 19-year-old."
