Ellie Brutsche graduated in 2022 with a Marketing and Finance degree. She is currently a Client Service Partner at Bloomberg Industry Group. Choosing CUA was easy for her as its commitment to being a 'Force for Good' resonated deeply with her. Now, she thrives on building client relationships daily.

Why did you choose to attend the Busch School at The Catholic University of America?   

I chose to attend the Busch School at CUA because I resonated with the motto to be a "Force for Good" in the world. I knew I wanted to work in the corporate world, but needed guidance to find a fulfilling career that matched my interests and talents. Every professor, staff member, and peer I worked with helped shape that path from Day 1 with a combination of a supportive community, academically challenging curriculum, and other activities/events.

What were some highlights of your time in the Busch School and at Catholic University?       

Two highlights from my time at the Busch School were giving tours to prospective students as a Busch School ambassador and interning with the Office of Career Development where I helped launch the ELEVATE program as well as plan and execute Career Networking Night. Not to mention meeting some lifelong friends!

What have you enjoyed most about working in your position? 

I've enjoyed forming meaningful relationships with my clients in the legal and tax space and managing all aspects of their account in order to solve their research problems on a daily basis.

What advice do you have for prospective students?

Take advantage of all the resources the Busch School has to offer and explore every opportunity presented. Everyone there truly wants the best for you and your academic/career development, so get involved as much as possible and make the most of your time.
