Reshma Gali, a 2022 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has joined the Financial Planning & Analysis team as a budget analyst.
With experience in the private sector and a broad background in fundraising and volunteering, Gali is excited to make use of her background in the realm of higher education.
In her role as a budget analyst, Gali will work with the FP&A team to assist UVA schools and units in their budgeting process in order to help them be successful and stay on track. The key factor in her role, she says, is listening - "listening to what the departments need, and what their students, faculty, and staff need."
Gali hopes eventually to go to law school, so working at UVA is a perfect way for her to experience the culture of higher education.
"UVA is touted as the ivy league of public schools, and I'm looking forward to learning here about how universities function financially and how, as a part of Financial Planning & Analysis, I can help contribute to that," she says.
When she isn't working, Gali enjoys a wide range of activities and volunteers quite a bit. She led a Bollywood fusion dance team during college, and will soon begin coaching a boxing class at her local fitness club. Her love of sports has shaped her philanthropic activities, too: in college, she helped raise funds to build classrooms and purchase sports equipment for girls in India as part of an effort to break the cycle of child marriage by using sports as a means for empowerment and recreation.
