What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and innovation in finance.

As a dedicated high school student with a projected GPA of 4.3, I have developed a strong foundation in finance and business through my education and extracurricular activities. My role as Head Business Tutor at Balaji Community Center allows me to share my knowledge with younger students, simplifying complex financial concepts and promoting practical money management skills. I take pride in creating structured lesson plans and coordinating guest speaker sessions, which enhance my communication and networking abilities.

In addition to tutoring, I lead initiatives in DECA, focusing on business, marketing, and finance competitions. My participation in the Think Like an Entrepreneur Summer Academy at Rowan University has further honed my analytical and presentation skills, as I collaborated with peers to tackle real-world issues and deliver impactful presentations. I am also an active member of FBLA, where I engage in competitive events that deepen my understanding of financial principles and business operations.
