Timothy Kroupa BS Actuarial Science North Central College Actuarial Analyst, Allstate Insurance Company

2006 Graduate of North Central College with a major in Actuarial Science. Tim completed an internship with Allstate the summer between his junior and senior years and was given a job offer at the completion of that internship. I am currently an Actuarial Analyst at Allstate Insurance Company in Northbrook IL.  I graduated from North Central College in Naperville IL in April 2006 with a B.S. degree in Finance and Actuarial Science.  I use math directly in my job everyday ranging from simply algebra to complex calculus and statistics.  While I don’t necessarily use calculus and statistics directly in my job, they are helpful for me in understanding how different methodologies we use work.   Actuaries take a series of exams in order to be credentialed. I have taken the first three actuarial exams with topics such as statistics, calculus and life contingencies.  Outside of exams I work in Microsoft excel where I use math the most.  Spreadsheets that I create require basic math skills to develop and interpret.
