About

After graduating the University of Delaware with a double major in Finance and Financial Planning, I have pursued opportunities in banking to further my knowledge and experience in the field. After completing the Truist Leadership Development Program, I began my current role as a Credit Analyst, underwriting syndicated & leveraged financial transactions as part of the Specialized Cash Flow Lending Group. I am always looking to expand my network and increase my experience, especially in regards to roles in investment & corporate banking, capital markets, and private credit.
