Aksa Vahora

I am an undergraduate at DePaul University’s College of Business, majoring in Actuarial Science (Class of May 2026) with a cumulative GPA of 3.4. I previously earned an Associate in Science from William Rainey Harper College (Dec 2023) as an honors graduate with a 3.8 GPA.

I work as a substitute teacher and paraeducator in School District U-46, where I manage classrooms, engage with students, and adapt daily to different grade levels and special education needs. I am responsible for student safety during emergency procedures and for following teacher notes to ensure continuity of instruction.

On election days I serve as an Election Judge for the Cook County Clerk, assisting with setup and organization, ensuring voters have a respectful experience, and helping verify that votes and counts match technology. I also volunteer at a local academy and mosque—supporting Ramadan operations and managing fundraiser registration and child care for 100+ children using Microsoft Excel.

I bring strong organization, attention to detail, and a commitment to service, backed by skills in Microsoft Office, Excel, and Canva, plus fluency in Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati and proficiency in Spanish. I have received Scholarship America support, Harper College academic honors, and a perfect high school attendance award, and I am eager to apply my analytical and interpersonal skills toward actuarial internships and entry-level roles.
