About Me

Emily Dow

Hi! I'm in my third year studying Financial Economics at the University of St Andrews. Like most at university, I am passionate about my subject, however my interest goes beyond most - it's actually a running joke with my friends! Despite my never-ending fascination with the subject, I do often find it challenging to understand (which is partly why I enjoy it!), therefore I'd like to have a place which concisely explains some of the concepts I previously struggled with, as well as current related stories which I have found interesting.
