Aspiring investment banker with strong analytical and leadership skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and ambitious individual pursuing a career in investment banking, equipped with a solid educational foundation from the University of Utah, where I earned an Honors Bachelor of Science in Economics. My academic journey has been enriched by my participation in the Business Scholars Program, which honed my leadership abilities and deepened my understanding of global markets and business innovation.
Through various virtual experiences with prestigious firms like Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase & Co., I have developed practical skills in financial modeling, valuation, and market analysis. My participation in the Investment Banking Club and Women in Finance Club has further strengthened my technical expertise and provided me with invaluable networking opportunities. I am particularly proud of my achievements in market analysis competitions, where I ranked in the top 10% for my analytical rigor and insightful recommendations.
My experiences have not only enhanced my technical skills in Excel and financial reporting but have also equipped me with the ability to thrive in high-pressure environments. I am fluent in both Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate effectively in diverse settings. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a challenging investment banking role that fosters growth and innovation.
