What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level roles in operations or analytics where I can apply Excel and SQL, support cross-functional teams, and grow into project leadership within a collaborative, learning-focused organization.

I am a business administration student specializing in operations and business analytics with hands-on internship experience across business operations, project management, and community outreach. I have used Excel, SQL, and Qualtrics to analyze donor funding, optimize schedules, and support sales quoting processes.

I consulted for a collegiate athletic department on engagement and ticket-sales strategies, supported cross-functional teams at Consolidated Electrical Distributors, and managed event logistics and communications. I bring attention to detail, data-driven problem solving, and eagerness to learn tools like Microsoft Power BI.
