I am an aspiring finance and accounting professional who continually seeks broadening my knowledge of the industry and of business as a whole. Learning new concepts and ways of doing things and then applying them to tackle problems is something that excites me. I strive to be a persistent, hard-worker who goes above and beyond the norm, which is evidenced by my performance in schooling and having been admitted into the 3/2 MBA program in the Kelley School of Business. I come from a diverse background and I was raised by a single parent, which instilled the belief that nothing is going to be given to me and hard-work is ultimately what allows anyone to succeed. I also have substantial experience competing on championship level teams, which fostered a competitive drive to win. These experiences reinforced the notion that I am responsible for not only my own performance, but also my team's - which to me means showing up to work- enthusiastic, optimistic, and ready to solve problems.
