About Me

I'm a Business Analytics and Information Systems student at the University of Iowa, graduating in May 2026 with a minor in Sports and Recreation Management. My academic foundation blends analytical rigor with a strong business sensibility — giving me the ability to translate data into decisions that matter.

I'm passionate about the intersection of analytics, finance, and business strategy. Whether it's building regression models, automating financial reporting, or leading a team, I bring curiosity and drive to everything I do.

I'm actively seeking entry-level roles and internships in analytics, finance, and general business — primarily in the Chicago area, with openness to opportunities in Florida and Boston.
