Biography
I'm a detail-oriented and analytical senior interested in combining my passion for language learning and my experience in finance and accounting-related professional roles. My many international endeavors have taught me to adapt and thrive in new environments. I hope to grow my technical financial services skills in the coming years before pursuing careers abroad where I can utilize my Spanish and German knowledge. Beyond my current professional plans after graduating, I’m interested in returning to school to pursue Sovereign and Country Risk Management.
