Finance and Leadership & Business Strategy graduate from Western Michigan University with hands on experience in financial analysis, forecasting, and data driven decision support in consulting and manufacturing environments. Through my experience as a Lead Business Analyst with Sleeping Giant Capital, I’ve led cross functional teams, built market expansion strategies, and developed analyses projected to drive $3 to $5 million in new revenue. I’ve worked directly with executives, translating complex data into clear, actionable insights and presenting recommendations in high-stakes environments. I bring a team-first mindset shaped by my leadership experience with WMU Women’s Basketball, along with a strong focus on accountability, preparation, and long term value creation. I’m especially interested in roles within manufacturing, industrials, or business transformation where strategy and execution intersect. I’m always looking to learn, improve, and take on new challenges. If you’re working on something interesting or have advice for someone starting their career, I’d love to connect.
