What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role in finance that fosters growth and innovation.

As a dedicated finance student at the University of Florida, I have consistently achieved academic excellence, maintaining a GPA of 3.9 while earning recognition on the Dean's List and the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll. My passion for finance is complemented by my competitive spirit as a NCAA Division I swimmer, where I balance rigorous training with my academic pursuits. I am committed to leveraging my analytical skills and financial acumen in the investment banking and private equity sectors.

My professional experience includes roles as an Investment Banking Spring Analyst at Merritt Healthcare Advisors, where I assist in financial modeling and due diligence for healthcare M&A transactions. Additionally, I am set to join NextGen Growth Partners as a Private Equity Summer Analyst, where I will conduct analyses on M&A transactions and support critical decision-making processes. My ability to synthesize financial models and coordinate complex agendas has been honed through these experiences, preparing me for a successful career in finance.
