Gloria is an Associate on the Private Placements team at BlackRock. Gloria earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with majors in Finance and Business Analytics from Drexel University. On the weekends, Gloria enjoys reading, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and traveling. As a young child, Gloria was a voracious reader and would spend her free time writing creative stories to share with her teachers and family. The encouragement she received from her “village” sparked her lifelong passion for learning. She is thrilled to be a member of the Community-Word Project Associate Board and to amplify the next generation of creative voices.
