Hailing from Lima, Peru, Dieter Gonzalo Treneman Navarro is double-majoring in Economics and Mathematics with a minor in Data Science. Despite his extremely demanding academic schedule, Dieter also found time to prepare for and pass the first four Society of Actuaries exams - in Probability, Financial Mathematics, Statistics for Risk Modeling, and Fundamentals of Actuarial Mathematics - and is currently awaiting results on exams five and six, all while interning at Unum. This summer, he will continue building his impressive career with a prestigious internship at Reinsurance Group of America.
