The George Washington University - B.S. Candidate in Finance

Washington, District of Columbia, United States

About

I am a sophomore at The George Washington School of Business (GWSB), pursuing a B.S. in Finance with a minor in Law & Society. At GW, I am part of the GW Women in Finance Alliance and other organizations where I continually develop my communications, teamwork, and leadership skills. I am passionate about understanding how financial insights drive strategic outcomes and create long-term value within organizations. Through my academic coursework and hands-on experiences, I have developed a foundation in financial planning and analysis, data analysis, and problem-solving. I value collaboration, continuous learning, and bringing a strong work ethic to every opportunity. Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I enjoy playing tennis (I am currently part of the GW Tennis Club team), exploring Washington D.C. and serving the community in projects sponsored by my sorority.
