Patrick Oldani

Patrick Oldani completed the iJay Practicum program across two semesters - Fall 2025 (Cohort 24) and Spring 2026 (Cohort 25) - as a member of the Finance Team. Patrick is currently a rising senior, majoring in finance and economics. Patrick has just started a new role as a Financial Planning Inten with Ludacka Wealth Partners. During his time in the iJay Practicum, Patrick helped develop the Glowforge Service, effectively managed 18 events or giveaways on a $3500 budget, and proposed new store offerings to increase profitability.

Patrick is currently a Financial Planning intern at Ludacka Wealth Partners, and the practicum has helped him immensely. At work, Patrick is on a team much like he is at the iJay, and the iJay has prepared him for this, giving Patrick plenty of opportunity for cross-team collaboration. Being on the Finance team also gave him experience creating reports, which Patrick now has to do for work.

"The iJay provided me with real-world experience in the classroom, which I am extremely grateful for. Some skills that I learned from being in the practicum were project management, financial analysis, and financial modeling. I also think I became a better presenter and better at working with teams."
