I'm Cassel Robson, double-degree student at Wilfrid Laurier University. I am a prospective quantitative trader/developer/researcher and am currently looking for internship opportunities in Canada and abroad.
I am also the Managing Partner/Co-Founder at BlackRidge Property Management, a small REIT focused on residential assets in the Waterloo region. My experience managing this fund has taught me how to assess risk, complete analysis on economic climates, manage relations with tenants, network with industry professionals, and make high pressure decisions.
