Shantel Roberts has always been a “numbers person,” but her love for financial analysis began in her high school accounting class.
Her passion for crunching numbers stuck with her long after that first introductory course. She obtained an MBA with a concentration in accounting from Lindenwood University near St. Louis, Missouri, and decided to pursue a career in public accounting. 不幸的是, she found the day-to-day tasks at accounting firms to be tedious, 要求高且单调.

She accepted a position as a Senior Tax Analyst eight years ago and was immediately able to see the bigger picture in her work, not only in her tasks but also in the way she was treated by others. She is now a Senior Treasury and International Trade Analyst on the BW Corporate Finance Team.

We see them as people with families and futures. Each challenge the Finance Team works through does more than just help them from a business standpoint; it makes sure their legacies endure for future generations.
