About

Hello, I am a first year student at the Kelley School of Business, studying accounting and finance. I have a strong interest in data, technology, and automation within a business and how we can use those things to improve. I am motivated in situations where I must use critical thinking skills to solve the task at hand. At the Kelley School of Business, I am currently working on and exploring different options to establish strong skills in leadership, technology, and communication. Although my preexisting interest and knowledge in analysis has helped me countless times, I would love the opportunity to combine these skills in the workplace. While I continue to improve my skills at the Kelley School of Business, I will also be seeking for new opportunities to learn even more skills, or gain experience in field. Although I am not exactly positive on the exact career I want, I do know that it will be a position in which my critical and analytical thinking skills will both be utilized.
