-Recognized a need within a predominantly male concentration in the Orfalea College of Business, and created the first ever organization of its kind at Cal Poly, using a two-pronged approach to create a positive change within the college: administrative-level collaborations and student-level involvement.-Presented peer-reviewed data, current student testimonials on the culture of the major, and recommendations to the Finance department faculty. Conducted regular check-ins with the faculty and dean to ensure open communication between professors and students.-Engaged with students at every class level to foster an inclusive and empowering community centered around professional development and technical training.-Curated and distributed a biweekly newsletter highlighting the most important stories in finance and continuing the conversation of gender-based inequalities in the workplace.

Utilizing my organizational skills, I revised the firm’s approach to preparing case files. I answered telephones, filed documents, and made copies for the attorneys. I also prepared background research for open cases and corresponded on behalf of the attorneys to obtain requested documents from outside sources.
