I'm dedicated to driving economic growth in businesses through strategic analysis, continuous improvement, and empowering individuals and communities. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've developed strong leadership, negotiation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.In applying classroom insights to the Student Activities Board, I led process improvements, leveraging Microsoft tools like Excel, Word, Teams, and Outlook. This resulted in at least five successful changes that enhanced team communication, dynamics, and workflow, while promoting community growth and engagement. I worked with bringing community partners to campus for semi-annual bazaars to cultivate internal and external relationships. My involvement in the Business Growth Mentor and Analysis Program (MAP) involved collaborative data and strategic analysis to drive revenue and create new business opportunities for my team's client. I presented findings to senior executives, refining my communication and teamwork abilities.
