About

Hello! I am currently a senior at the University of Delaware double majoring in Finance and Business Analytics within the Lerner College of Business and Economics. I am inspired by the many opportunities and resources I will be able to use here. This past summer, I worked at the New York City Council as a data analyst, which helped me enhance my data analysis, organizational skills, and responsibility while supporting public policy work. I'm always eager to take on new challenges that push me to grow both personally and professionally. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family and watching sports. If you would like to connect, please reach out through LinkedIn or email at [email protected].
