I went into finance for my career because I always found it fascinating. It might sound strange but to me finance is like playing, like solving a puzzle. Reading through spreadsheets and financial statements can be monogamous, but when I let my curiosity and passion for solving problems drive me it becomes exciting. This along with my belief that finance can be used as a tool for the greater good is why I choose this field.I have had the opportunity to work in many different jobs and learn many different skills. When I was young I loved being involved in boy scouts, where I made great friendships and went on amazing adventures. The most valuable thing Boy Scouts gave me however, was dedication. It took me six years to earn my Eagle Scout which was an incredibly valuable lesson for me as a kid. In high school I worked as a manager at Frost Gelato, where I learned the importance of hard work, treating others well and to always go above the customers expectations. During my time as youth intern at St.Andrews and as the new member educator and treasurer for my fraternity I fine tuned my communication, event planning and public speaking skills. From my course work in school and my analyst internship with the University of Arizona I have built a strong foundation of accounting and finance knowledge, and built strong technical skills with Excel, data visualization and mathematics. All of my experiences has helped me learn and grow and have prepared me well to start a career in finance.
