What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that blends business development and consulting-style strategy with data-driven financial modeling—where I can build market sizing, valuation models, and dashboards, collaborate with stakeholders, and grow in a fast-paced team.

I’m a finance undergraduate at The Pennsylvania State University, building my career at the intersection of business development, consulting, and analytics. I enjoy turning complex market signals into clear, decision-ready recommendations.

At HDFC Bank, I’m authoring a consulting-style strategy report on post-merger retail lending growth, benchmarking competitive positioning across major Indian banks. I’m also building a market sizing model using RBI retail credit data to quantify expansion opportunities across home, personal, and auto loans.

Previously, as a Consulting Intern at Ernst & Young (GDS), I supported consulting work across MENA service lines by helping design a resource utilization framework, and I built valuation models that supported $20M+ in project decisions. I researched 60+ pipeline opportunities and translated findings into interactive reports and dashboards using Power Query and Power BI.

Beyond corporate experience, I lead campus operations and client-focused work—managing shift scheduling for 200+ student employees and serving as a Client Engagement Associate for an emerging streetwear brand. I bring a structured, data-driven mindset to stakeholder presentation and operational strategy support, and I’m eager to keep scaling that approach in a role where analytics directly drives growth.
