Volatility is back in financial markets, and that means busy days for RBC Capital Market's head of derivatives strategy, Amy Wu Silverman.

As part of her daily regimen, Silverman closely follows equity volatility related topics in order to relay them to the bank's clients as well as the media. She regularly appears on networks including CNBC and Bloomberg TV, as well as print and online publications discussing markets stories.

She enjoys the qualitative parts of her job, like visiting clients around the world, as well as the quantitative aspects, such as designing an options trade or analyzing a backtest.

Silverman recently documented her daily routine for Business Insider during RBC's Trade for the Kids day, which donated over $3 million to youth-focused charities throughout the world, including Storefront School, where she is a board member.
