What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated college student-athlete pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing with a minor in Exercise Science at Colorado Mesa University. My journey as a student-athlete has instilled in me a strong sense of leadership, teamwork, and the ability to adapt in fast-paced environments. I have been recognized as a Rocky Mountain Academic All-Conference athlete and actively participate in the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, where I advocate for athlete welfare and contribute to policy development.
My professional experience includes a finance internship at Dan Es Planning, where I supported financial reporting and data analysis, leveraging my advanced Excel skills to enhance decision-making processes. Additionally, my roles as a lifeguard and swim instructor have honed my communication and problem-solving skills, allowing me to effectively manage diverse groups and ensure safety. I am passionate about applying my skills in problem-solving, project management, and teamwork to contribute to innovative solutions in a professional setting.
