AS Finance × AI × Policy UPenn PPE + Data Science Incoming Sales & Trading

Hi, I’m Amanda Skurkovich. I turn complexity into decision-ready clarity.

I’m a UPenn PPE senior with a Data Science minor, starting in Sales & Trading after graduation — and I’m especially focused on the intersection of AI regulation, safety, and finance. I like taking messy, high-stakes problems and turning them into clear, credible recommendations.
