Lucas McGuigan

Lucas McGuigan is a St. Ignatius College Preparatory student interested in business, economics, and machine learning. He brings experience in student financial leadership, budgeting, grant research, tutoring, and lifeguarding. His background also includes helping establish a student organization connecting high schoolers with leaders in sports and business.

For his independent project, The Prosperity Project, Lucas created a financial-literacy guide covering earning and spending, saving, investing, borrowing, debt, and resources available to San Francisco residents. Over the summer, he shared the guide with community organizations. As he developed the project, he adjusted its scope and sought support to complete a useful resource within the summer timeline.

During his startup immersion at Astraea, Lucas contributed company research, which he describes as a particularly meaningful part of his summer.
