Russell, Pennsylvania, United States
I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a concentration in finance and economics. Currently, I am seeking a full-time opportunity within finance, real estate, sales, or consulting. I am also open to similar industries. My academic background detailed financial modeling, valuation, economic analysis, and the application of theory to real-world business decisions. Through my coursework and team projects, I was able to advance quantitative, analytical, and collaborative skills. In addition to my academic background, I own and manage two businesses, Borger Mowing and Landscaping and Able Works Properties. For these companies, I oversee financial management, daily operations, client communication, growth initiatives, and employee oversight. This real world experience has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally and has given me a unique perspective on decision-making, problem solving, and leadership. I am now pursuing opportunities where I can apply both my academic and entrepreneurial experience in a dynamic environment.
