About Me…

My name is Matthew Armstrong, I am a 24 year old from Northern Ireland and I am currently working toward my Master’s Degree in the U.S. This website was created with the intention of expanding upon my résumé as I look for employment opportunities.

I am a first year Master’s student at Savannah College of Art and Design and I am majoring in Creative Business Leadership. After completing my Undergraduate degree in Business Administration at Lees-McRae College, NC, I stepped directly into the position of Associate Wealth Advisor at a Registered investment advisory firm in Georgia, U.S., for one year before deciding to continue investing in my education.

My year of work in the financial industry allowed me to envision a path of where I want my career to bring me. The always changing world of finance, investments and asset management specifically, fascinates me. This interest is what led me to an alternative Master’s degree of Creative Business Leadership at the Savannah College of Art and Design. My learning and vision is now thoughtfully organised to set me up for a successful career in the financial field with the support of my peers and professors who understand my personal career goals and the skills and qualifications that I will need to acquire to reach those goals.

I am a highly motivated individual and anticipate contributing positively to the organisations I align myself with, whether that is a graduate school program or working with a dynamic employer.
