What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I'm a dedicated finance student at the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, with a perfect GPA of 4.00. My academic journey has been complemented by my active involvement in various organizations, including the MEDLIFE Movement, where I serve as Co-President and Director. My leadership skills were recognized when I received the MEDLIFE Leadership Award in 2022, an honor given to only five out of 1,340 executive board members.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained practical experience through internships, such as my recent role at Century 21 Scheetz, where I supported a top realtor by enhancing productivity through data management and social media marketing. My commitment to community service is evident in my role as a counselor at Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation, where I fostered nurturing relationships with children while effectively communicating with their parents.
