What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters growth and allows me to apply my analytical skills in finance.

I am a Finance and Economics student at Santa Clara University, where I am honing my skills in financial modeling, macroeconomics, and business analytics. With a GPA of 3.93, I am dedicated to my studies and aspire to become a Financial or Quantitative Analyst. My academic journey is complemented by my plans to minor in Business Analytics and International Business, which I believe will enhance my analytical capabilities and broaden my understanding of global markets.

Throughout my experiences, I have developed strong communication, leadership, and analytical skills. As a Financial Planning Intern at New York Life Insurance Company, I provide a full range of accounting services, including income tax preparation and financial statement preparation. Additionally, my role as a Business Development Intern has allowed me to build relationships with businesses, leveraging financial analysis to identify opportunities for growth. My tutoring experience has further refined my ability to adapt to different environments and tailor solutions to meet individual needs.
