In her time at S&P, Cora has excelled in her analytical work, developing relationships with her clients, and mentoring others.
"Cora is an incredibly well-rounded, respected and talented member of the public finance staff at S&P, having built a reputation for reliability, analytic excellence and high emotional intelligence in her six-year career at S&P," said S&P Managing Director and Chief Analytical Officer Robin Prunty.
In her analytical work, "Cora is extremely thorough and diligent in telling a holistic credit story in order to hone in on risk and apply the criteria in a way that brings essential intelligence to the market," Prunty said.
As a mentor at S&P, Cora has coached newcomers and veterans alike. "Her mentees regularly describe her as someone who embraces a supporting role and gives the analysts the opportunity to learn and discover for themselves while guiding them through their work," Prunty said.
Cora has been with S&P since 2016. Prior to that she was an analyst at Moody's Investors Service covering Midwestern local governments.
Cora said what draws her to her work is "the diversity of people and places I get to work with in U.S. Public Finance, from small special purpose districts to large cities and states. I feel like I'm always learning something new."
In her downtime, Cora likes to travel, play soccer with her two children, and eat the food her husband, who is a chef, cooks.
