Oswego, Illinois, United States
I am a Finance and Accounting student at the University of Illinois Chicago and an NCAA Division I cross country and track athlete. I balance a demanding academic workload with year-round training and competition, which has strengthened my discipline, time management, and performance under pressure. Outside the classroom, I am the founder and race director of Summer’s Last Kick, a community 5K and one-mile race. I have led sponsorship acquisition, budgeting, permitting, marketing, and race-day operations, growing participation by 50% year-over-year. I am interested in internships and early-career opportunities in finance, accounting, financial analysis, and business operations where analytical thinking, leadership, and execution matter.
