What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, teamwork, and innovation in finance.

I am a proactive and goal-driven professional with a Bachelor of Finance in Business Administration from Texas State University, set to graduate in December 2023. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in financial management, accounting, and information technology, complemented by hands-on experience in project management and customer support.

Throughout my five years as a retail sales associate, I honed my financial management skills by effectively handling cash and electronic transactions while utilizing strong math skills. My ability to analyze financial statements and perform ratio analysis during academic projects has prepared me to contribute valuable insights to potential employers. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where my attention to detail and problem-solving abilities enable me to fulfill various tasks without compromising service quality.

In addition to my retail experience, I have organized office meetings and campus-wide events, demonstrating my capability to manage logistics and communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders. I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic role that values teamwork and innovation.
