Kelly Hernandez (kellyhernandez@arizona.edu)

Finance ‘24

My name is Kelly Hernandez! I am Venezuelan, but I grew up in Tucson, AZ. In my free time, you can catch me watching movies, going swimming, or making a bomb tres leches cake. I decided to join the Arizona Consulting Club during my sophomore year because I wanted to learn more about consulting and the different types of career paths that are embedded in this field. After being in the club for 2 years, not only did I achieve that, but I was also able to get involved in the executive board. I started off as a FESO representative, moved to Vice President, and now I can proudly say I am President! During my time in the club, I have been able to attend two New York City trips, host our own ACC case competition, and lead our first club trip to Chicago! In this club, I have fostered so many new relationships, learned how to effectively solve business problems, and had so much fun along the way! I will be heading to Wells Fargo as a full-time Investment Banking Analyst in their Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) group in New York City next year. I am so excited to see how the club transforms in the future!! Please reach out if you have any questions about ACC!

Hi, my name is Ethan Hefflin, and I am a senior at the Eller College of Management! I joined ACC to learn more about the consulting industry! When I first joined, I barely knew anything about what a career in consulting looked like or how to begin my journey in the industry.
