As a recent graduate from the University of North Dakota, I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Banking and Financial Economics. Along the way, I gained a passion for financial literacy and helping others achieve their financial goals. I have gained valuable knowledge and skills in data analytics, Microsoft applications, customer service, and communication through my coursework and extracurricular activities.In August of 2024, I proudly joined the Bell Capital Finance team as a Credit Analyst. Bell Capital Finance, a division of Bell Bank, provides senior cash flow financing to lower and middle market businesses back by private equity or other professional investors nationwide. Clients will typically have revenue up to $100 million and EBITDA of $3 million to $25 millionAs a Credit Analyst, my duties include the underwriting and financial analysis of these companies on a new deal or annual review basis. Additionally, I am responsible for the ongoing process of reporting and analyzing both compliance and performance metrics of these companies on a monthly basis. My other professional experience includes the completion of a 10-week internship at Dacotah Bank, where I learned about various aspects of the banking industry, such as business and commercial lending, business development, and credit analysis. I also had the opportunity to travel to different market branches and network with professionals.
