What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to apply financial analysis, modeling, accounting, and data skills to support practical business decisions while continuing to grow professionally.

I'm completing a Finance degree with a Data Science minor at the University of Washington, where I built a three-year financial analysis and investment recommendation for Costco, benchmarked against Walmart.

At S&S LLC, I supported individual and business tax processes, maintained financial records, reconciled account statements, prepared journal entries, and helped review balance sheets and financial reports. I bring hands-on experience with financial data accuracy, bookkeeping, and confidential client information.

I've also led a consulting project for Girls Who Code, developed a Uniqlo campus rental-service plan that earned second place, and coordinated student networking and cultural events.
