MEET OUR Gem

Meet the 2023 Gems

Conor Patten

I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts and am a huge fan of all Boston sports teams, especially the Patriots and the Celtics. Professionally, I am interested in Quantitative Finance and Sports Business, and have experience working for numerous sports betting companies. On campus, I am involved with the Sports Business Association, as well as the Trojan Poker club. I am a huge poker player, and have become deeply interested in the underlying math behind the game. Recently, I had the opportunity to represent team USC at the Intercollegiate Poker Finals hosted by the Quant firm SIG in Philadelphia, where our team placed third in the world! In my free time, I love to be outdoors and enjoy skiing, hiking, tennis, and chilling by the beach. I am so excited to start with GEMS, and hope to absorb all the wisdom I can from whoever my mentor ends up being!
