I am a graduate from the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee Knoxville with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Finance. I have always been a highly analytical person and am heavily detail-oriented. I manage a derivatives portfolio and analyze market structures daily and always am looking for cause and effect relationships in whatever my task may be. I have excellent relationship-building skills and can draw the strengths of others out and focus on those. Working as a host in the restaurant industry for a few years has helped to develop my people skills and has helped me to learn how to appropriately manage workplace relationships and expectations.My business interests include market analysis and in-depth understanding of how markets operate and function as well as problem solving. My experience with managing a large investment portfolio has prepared me to pursue a career in which I can utilize my knowledge of financial markets and problem-solving skills to help others navigate these markets. I am motivated by helping others and seeing others succeed which I plan on pursing through starting my own financial firm.
