What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level role that leverages my analytical and financial skills, offers mentorship, collaborative culture, and growth opportunities.

I am a Business Management graduate with a strong foundation in leadership, organization, and financial management developed through student leadership roles and hands-on campus projects.

As Vice President & Treasurer of the TCNJ Lions Fencing Club and Treasurer of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, I re-established club operations, built budgets, improved financial transparency, and grew membership through targeted outreach.

My academic work emphasized strategic and operations management, business analytics, and decision-making—highlighted by a senior capstone optimizing a production-plant location for Honda while assessing tariffs, labor, and logistics risks.

I bring technical competency in Microsoft Office/Google Suite and introductory Python, strong interpersonal and communication skills, and a collaborative, problem-solving approach suited for entry-level roles where I can contribute to organizational success and continue learning.
