What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated and ambitious accounting and finance student at Morgan State University, where I have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.6/4.0 while being recognized as a Graves Honors Student. My academic journey has been enriched by multiple honors and scholarships, including the Deloitte Scholar and Boeing Honors Scholar awards. I have developed a solid foundation in financial principles through relevant coursework in Business Statistics, Managerial Accounting, and Financial Planning.

My professional experience includes internships at Isaac's Accounting and Deloitte, where I honed my skills in tax preparation, audit processes, and client communications. I have a proven track record of leveraging data analytics tools to enhance audit quality and efficiency, contributing to tailored tax planning strategies for diverse clientele. Additionally, my entrepreneurial venture in the automotive industry has equipped me with exceptional marketing and negotiation skills, allowing me to exceed sales targets consistently.

Beyond academics and internships, I have actively participated in case competitions and leadership roles, such as President of Beta Alpha Psi and Treasurer of the Dean's Student Advisory Council. My involvement in programs like Goldman Sachs Market Madness has further solidified my understanding of the financial services industry, culminating in a successful proposal that earned a grant for my university.
