Building a Career Through Finance, Leadership, and Service

I'm pursuing Bachelor of Science degrees in Finance and Supply Chain Management at Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business. This combination allows me to understand both the financial decisions organizations make and the operational systems that help them succeed.

My experience in wealth management, customer service, student mentorship, and campus leadership has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, anticipate needs, build relationships, and support people as they work toward meaningful goals.

As I continue developing professionally, I'm especially interested in finance, financial planning, wealth management, client relationships, supply chain, and business leadership. I value continuous growth, professionalism, service, and work that creates a positive impact for individuals, teams, and organizations.
