I am currently a Master of Finance student at The Paul Merage School of Business at UC Irvine. My undergraduate major is Business Administration with an emphasis in finance and accounting. During my undergraduate program, I was part of a team involving case study to utilize financial analysis concepts such as WACC and CAPM. The project also compiled financial statements for comparable firms and performed valuation and DCF analyses to determine profitability. I used advanced Excel features to derive financial modeling to project future cash flow. In addition, we learned how to gather datasets from diverse financial products and used regression analysis to analyze betas and sort results in python. Researching historical data helped us make a more informed decision. Furthermore, military service taught me what it truly means to be an effective and disciplined team member as part of a larger organization dedicated to successfully completing a complex objective. As a result, I developed outstanding supervisory, leadership, and management skills during my career.
