What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a collaborative environment focused on financial strategy and analysis.

I am a dedicated finance professional currently pursuing my Master of Finance at The Pennsylvania State University, where I maintain a GPA of 3.89. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of financial modeling, analysis, and strategic financial management. I have excelled in courses such as Advanced Financial Modeling with Excel, VBA, and Python, which have honed my technical skills and analytical capabilities.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have gained practical experience as a Strategy Consultant for Impulse, where I collaborate with the CEO to develop a self-improvement app. My role involves creating comprehensive business strategies and enhancing user experience through tailored features. I have also served as Team CFO in the International Collegiate Business Strategy Competition, where my strategic financial decisions led to a remarkable 38% YoY sales growth, earning accolades for my presentation and documentation skills.

My leadership experience includes managing substantial budgets as Treasurer for the Willamette Events Board and the Community Action Fund for Equity and Sustainability. I am passionate about leveraging my financial expertise to drive impactful decisions and contribute to organizational success.
