What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to use my analytical and communication skills to help companies with financial and strategic decision making.

At Western Carolina University, I participated in team consulting projects for regional businesses, including an in-depth final project conducted by approximately 20 students. I acted as lead presenter, presenting the project to the client and the WCU Board of Trustees, and conducted the project according to the SEAM methodology.

Through my MBA projects, I applied Microsoft Excel and Power BI. I also completed Corporate Finance Institute coursework and the exam for the FMVA certification, developing proficiency in 3-statement and operational modeling.

My financial valuation coursework covered DCF, comparable company, and precedent transaction analyses. I’m seeking to use my analytical and communication skills to help companies with financial and managerial decision making.
