Chino Hills, California, United States

About

I'm a finance major building toward a career in the NBA's finance and business operations. Through coursework in accounting, finance, and information systems, I've developed strong skills in financial reporting, budgeting, and data analysis. My hands-on projects have taught me how to interpret data, identify trends, and communicate insights effectively. My experience in retail and sports officiating has strengthened my discipline, adaptability, and communication skills in fast-paced, team-oriented environments. These roles have taught me how to stay organized under pressure and connect with diverse groups—qualities essential for collaborative professional settings. I bring a blend of analytical training and real-world experience to every opportunity. I'm actively seeking roles in financial analysis, budgeting, or business operations to build expertise for a long-term future in sports finance. I'm passionate about the intersection of sports, analytics, and strategy, and I'm excited to connect with professionals who share that vision.
