Chicago, Illinois, United States
I graduated from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University with a double major in Accounting and Finance. Alongside my primary fields of study, I developed a strong passion for data analytics and coding, which I believe are essential skills in today’s data-driven world. On my own, I’ve worked with Python and SQL, among other useful tools, and gained hands-on experience in data analysis, visualization, and database management. My coursework and projects allowed me to apply these skills in practical scenarios, helping uncover insights and support data-informed decision-making. I am now an Audit Associate at KPMG in Chicago and am currently pursuing my CPA license. I’m excited to bring my analytical mindset, technical skills, and passion for continuous learning into my professional work. Beyond my career, I’m passionate about health and wellness. I believe in the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle and am dedicated to promoting well-being in both my personal and professional life. I enjoy staying active, exploring new fitness trends, and learning about nutrition and mental health practices.
