Summary

Finance student at Northern Arizona University (Class of 2028) with a 3.88 GPA, and a strong interest in financial analysis, data-driven decision making, and corporate finance. Recently, I completed a Global Career Accelerator in Data Analytics, where I worked on projects analyzing large datasets, creating dashboards in Excel and Tableau, and presenting findings to a global cohort. This experience strengthened my technical skills and reinforced my passion for using data to solve business problems. My work experience at Chipotle and Fry’s Food Stores taught me the value of teamwork, customer service, and adaptability in fast-paced environments. Combined with my academic success, these experiences have shaped me into a detail-oriented and disciplined student who thrives under pressure. Outside of academics, I hold three state powerlifting records, which reflect my commitment, perseverance, and drive for continuous improvement. I am eager to apply my finance and analytics skills in internships or part-time opportunities while pursuing my degree. My career goal is to work in financial analysis, corporate finance, or investment management.
