United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and globally minded International Business and Finance student with hands-on experience in legislative support, asset management, and marketing analytics. My multicultural background, having lived in Canada, Uganda, India, the UAE, and the United States, allows me to bring a unique perspective and adaptability to every professional setting. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments where strategic thinking and clear communication are essential.
During my time as a Legislative Aide and Data Analyst at the Massachusetts State House, I supported state legislators with research, data compilation, and public policy development. I honed my professional communication skills and gained deep exposure to public service operations. My role at Ricci Brothers Inc. as an Asset & Tax Management Associate further developed my financial acumen, where I managed financial documentation and identified cost-saving opportunities. I am passionate about delivering impact-driven solutions and building meaningful professional relationships across cultures and industries.
