Brittany Deaton graduated from Lee in 2014 with a degree in mathematics with an emphasis in actuarial science. She is currently the director of the Anaplan Center of Excellence (COE) team at Unum – a large disability insurance company headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee. According to Brittany, “My team and I are responsible for the support of Anaplan, a cloud-based financial planning platform, and are involved with developing and maintaining models, training new model builders, establishing governance practices, and shaping the overall strategy of where we want to take the platform next.” Brittany credits Lee’s professors for preparing her for this job. “Outside of what they taught me in class, which was absolutely foundational to my career, my professors taught me how to prepare myself for the business/finance world – they taught me to put together a resume, how to get an internship, and how to think critically.”
