Welcome to the Tulane MFIN Blog! My name is Tommy Milburn and I am currently a Master of Finance candidate at Tulane University. I hail from Warwick, New York. Some may say that Louisiana is a bit of a ways to travel for school, but I’ve always had a little bit of New Orleans running through my veins. I was drawn to the city for its strong French and Spanish influences. I have spoken French since I was 13 years old and came to Tulane as an undergraduate and achieved a double major in French and Economics in 2012. I worked for Travelers Insurance as an Associate Underwriter for a year before returning to Tulane to pursue an MFIN. I hope to launch a career in international markets upon graduating from the program.
In my time away from the classroom, I’m a financial market enthusiast who enjoys watching CNBC and reading books on investments and business non-fiction. Outside the realm of finance, I love the game of football, all types of music, weightlifting, traveling and micro-brewing with my friends. I’m excited by the opportunity to help prospective Tulane students learn more about what makes New Orleans a unique and enriching city to live in and what makes Tulane the right choice for you.
