BRADLEY MCGARVEY
Senior Accountant · MIA Candidate at Baruch College
ABOUT ME
I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in International Affairs with a concentration in Trade Policy at Baruch College. With a background in accounting and private equity, I’m expanding my expertise into international economics, development, and global institutions.
​As I deepen my academic focus on international economics and institutional governance, I’m especially interested in how financial systems intersect with policy implementation on a global scale. My goal is to contribute to organizations working at the nexus of finance, trade, and development — helping shape solutions that are both data-informed and impact-oriented.
