What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in analytics.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented professional pursuing a Master of Science in Business with a focus on Accounting and Business Analytics. My academic journey at Howard University, in collaboration with KPMG, has equipped me with a strong foundation in data analysis, financial reporting, and strategic decision-making. I have consistently achieved academic excellence, being recognized on the Dean's List for five semesters and actively participating in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.

My professional experience includes internships at Ernst & Young and KPMG, where I honed my skills in technology risk assurance and tax compliance. At Ernst & Young, I collaborated with consulting teams to analyze client challenges and develop strategic recommendations. My role at KPMG involved preparing individual tax returns for expatriates, ensuring compliance with international tax laws while providing exceptional client service. Additionally, I have contributed to non-profit organizations through data-driven analysis, enhancing decision-making processes.
