A pair of Farmer School finance majors have been named to Poets & Quants for Undergrads list of the 2019 Best and Brightest Business Students. Miranda Scott and Lauren Nobile are two of four students in Ohio to make the list.

Scott is president of the Women in Finance group at the Farmer School, and has been on the President’s List and/or Dean’s List every semester since she started at Miami. She has accepted a position with Capital One’s Commercial Rotation Program upon graduation.

“The biggest lesson I have gained from studying business is how to get comfortable with always being uncomfortable. Business is a dynamic field and to be successful I have learned the art of always being willing and able to adapt to a situation,” Scott told P&Q. “Life is often neither black nor white, but some shade of grey and studying business has taught me how to be comfortable in the grey not only in business but in my everyday life as well”

““Miranda Scott is dedicated to excelling in everything she does,” finance professor Mary Elizabeth Thompson Badgett explained. “She excels in her difficult finance classes, maintaining a high GPA and earning the respect of her peers and professors. Miranda is such an invaluable addition to the class of 2019 because to put it simply, she is truly a force of nature!”

Nobile, who said she “runs on coffee and chaos,” has also made the President’s List and/or Dean’s List several times, and will be an associate consultant with Bain & Company after graduation. “The thing I most enjoyed about The Farmer School of Business is the culture. Farmer favors the bold. As students, we are constantly encouraged to forge our own path and approach the world ambitiously and inquisitively,” she recalled.

“Throughout my time at Farmer, I’ve learned that business is the intersection of science and art. It applies creative skill and imagination in a continuous cycle of observation and experimentation. Moreover, it is the most interactive forms of art – as each of us touches business every single day, with everything we do,” Nobile explained.

““Lauren is a very gifted young woman. She has the rare ability to be proficient and comfortable with numbers, but she can also see the big picture, so strategy comes easily to her,” associate lecturer of marketing Jan Taylor said. “These talents were apparent in my Honors Marketing Principles class as she worked on the client project, but as she participated in case competitions, she honed these skills.  She will be an asset to Bain as she begins her career with them over the summer.”
