What Can You Do with an APSIA Degree?
Alumnus Highlight: Pierre Funderburk

Pierre Funderburk graduated in 2017 from Florida International University’s Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs with a Master of Arts in Global Affairs. Pierre is currently an Anti-Money Laundering Analyst with USAA Bank focusing on fraud prevention and compliance.

Pierre’s interest (and eventual career) in anti-money laundering was sparked in the Global Affairs program while he was partnered with Raymond James Financial Services and U.S. Special Operations Command on a capstone research project related to money laundering in social media and online gaming. Pierre’s research was ultimately published in an academic journal (co-authored with his student partner and faculty supervisor). In addition, Pierre was offered a job with Raymond James Financial Services right after graduation before transitioning to the position he currently holds.
