What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in finance, contribute to impactful projects, and be part of a collaborative team.

I am a finance major at Virginia Tech, where I have honed my analytical skills and developed a strong foundation in financial principles. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my Dean's List recognition and a GPA of 3.41. I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge to make informed investment decisions and contribute to financial success.

During my internship at Forte Capital Group, I conducted in-depth financial analyses and valuations of high-profile companies like Open AI and SpaceX. I built and maintained financial models to forecast performance and authored research reports that provided valuable insights into industry trends. My experience as a Junior Accountant Intern further solidified my understanding of financial reporting and operations, where I managed accounts payable and receivables while ensuring accurate record-keeping.

In addition to my finance background, I have a diverse skill set that includes marketing coordination and event planning. My role at Seoul Music involved executing marketing campaigns that successfully increased student enrollment by 30%. I am eager to bring my analytical mindset and creative problem-solving skills to a dynamic team where I can contribute to impactful financial strategies.
