University of Massachusetts Finance and Sport Management Graduate searching for collaborative and data centered financial roles

About

I am very interested in why a business performed the way it did, where the gap is, and what the model says about what comes next. That curiosity led me to Finance: it sits at the intersection of data and decision-making. I'm excited by work that connects numbers to the bigger picture. I care about building models that hold up under scrutiny, asking the right questions, and communicating clearly to people who don't live in spreadsheets. I'm driven, detail-oriented, and ready to work hard. Looking for analyst roles where I can grow in responsibility over time and learn from great co-workers who take their craft seriously.
