As an Honors Finance student at Arizona State University, my interest in the financial sector is deeply rooted in a desire to make a meaningful impact and a curiosity about the mechanics of business and finance. This drive stems from a family background lacking in financial literacy, which motivates me to empower others through financial expertise. My journey includes significant roles at Columbia West Capital and Deloitte's Financial Advisory Services, where I honed my skills in accounting, valuation, and financial modeling.I am currently deepening my expertise in financial statement analysis, financial modeling, and credit risk assessment as a Credit Underwriting Intern at STORE Capital. This role offers a unique chance to delve into the dynamic REIT sector and is a strategic step towards my goal of carving a path in investment banking. I am also actively involved in the Investment Banking Industry Scholars and the REIT Portfolio Practicum programs at ASU.Beyond finance, I am a committed practitioner of mixed martial arts, embracing the discipline and resilience it teaches—traits that resonate deeply with the challenges of the financial world.I'm keen to connect with like-minded professionals and explore how we can collectively advance in the finance industry.
