What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment where I can apply my finance skills to make impactful decisions.

I am a recent Finance graduate from New Mexico State University, where I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my 3.8 GPA. I am passionate about leveraging my education to make a meaningful impact in the field of finance.

During my time at university, I served as an Undergraduate Assistant in the College of Business, where I assisted Dr. Shindi in helping Afghan refugees learn essential skills. Additionally, I completed a Financial Representative Internship at Primerica, where I engaged in team discussions and completed a structured training program, earning my New Mexico State Life Insurance Certificate. My experience as an elected Senator for the College of Business has further honed my leadership skills and commitment to supporting my peers.

One of my proudest achievements was participating in the GLO-BUS Business Strategy Simulation, where my team placed 2nd out of multiple teams. This experience allowed me to apply my financial knowledge in a competitive environment, managing decisions across various business functions to drive growth. I am eager to bring my skills and experiences to a financial analyst role, where I can contribute to impactful business decisions.
