What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level accounting or finance role where I can apply financial statement analysis and investment research, work with strong mentorship, and contribute with accuracy, clear communication, and operational focus.

I’m a Finance and Accountancy graduate student candidate with a 3.98/4.00 GPA, consistently recognized as a 2x Presidential Scholar and 2x Dean’s List Scholar. I’ve built strong grounding in financial accounting, managerial accounting, tax accounting, intermediate accounting, and statistical analysis for business.

I’m also hands-on in client-facing, high-pressure environments—managing guest and member needs, supporting daily operations, and maintaining accurate records. From banquet logistics and cash transactions to resolving inquiries using club management software, I focus on accuracy, efficiency, and professional service.

Through an Office of Delegate internship, I strengthened my analytical and communication skills by researching economic and community issues for 80K+ constituents, then synthesizing complex information into policy summaries and briefing materials. I’ve carried that same discipline into leadership, co-founding a nonprofit initiative that hosted inclusive Special Olympics events for 1,200+ students with disabilities.

As a mentor program ambassador with a Morgan Stanley Vice President, I’ve gained firsthand insight into wealth management, client relationship strategies, financial advising, and investment principles. I’m motivated to bring rigorous analysis, clear communication, and real-world responsibility into a finance or accounting role where I can grow and contribute immediately.
