Darling joined Delta Zeta Sorority - Omicron Omicron Chapter during her time as a Lindenwood undergraduate student while majoring in business administration.

"My time at Lindenwood was transformative, especially through co-founding the University's first-ever investment club, which has contributed to success thus far in the finance industry. The club now thrives as a student-managed portfolio with over six figures in assets," Darling said.

Darling's undergraduate experience has led her to a successful career in the finance industry.
