Emma Yang

The Off-Campus ROI Analyst

Emma Yang is a sophomore at NYU, double-majoring in economics and mathematics with investment banking in her sights. The habit followed her out of the classroom: every night out gets a one-line deal memo before she commits, covering cost per hour, how much of it is spent walking, and whether the thing she came for is worth the fare. She kills a bad plan at 6 p.m. instead of at 11, which is why her group chat has stopped arguing about where to go. Off the clock she is on a badminton court, or already at the next place she will have to defend.
