What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my finance and accounting skills while fostering professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Penn State University, where I am part of the Honors Program focusing on Finance and Accounting. With a cumulative GPA of 3.5, I have been recognized on the Dean's List for 2024 and accepted into the PSU National Society of Leadership and Success. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in financial principles, managerial accounting, and marketing strategies.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have gained valuable work experience as a Sales Associate at Marshalls, where I improved backroom organization and inventory management while ensuring customer satisfaction. My previous roles, including Front Desk and Kiosk Manager at The Mill Works and Teaching Assistant at ICB School of Wayland, have honed my leadership, organizational, and communication skills. I have also demonstrated my ability to lead and mentor through my experience as a Head Coach for Westford Recreation Basketball, where I successfully guided a team to the semi-finals.
