At the Culverhouse College of Business at the University of Alabama, I am diligently pursuing a degree in Finance and Economics. As a highly motivated and enthusiastic leader, I am eager to acquire a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals and applications of finance, while also gaining practical experience through an internship in the financial industry.Throughout my academic career at the University of Alabama, I have actively sought out both academic and extracurricular activities that have allowed me to learn, contribute, and lead. Notably, I was appointed as a member of the Finance Committee and served as the Chairperson for Special Events for the Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) chapter. Furthermore, I was recognized as a future chapter leader and appointed as a delegate to the prestigious 2024 PIKEU Leadership Summit in Atlanta. Additionally, I was selected for the University of Alabama Club Golf Team.Prior to enrolling at the University of Alabama, I attended Glen Ridge High School (GRHS) in New Jersey, where I was recognized for my exceptional leadership, effective communication, and motivational skills. Specifically, I was voted by my peers to deliver the 2023 GRHS Graduation Commencement Address, which showcased my capacity to inspire, engage in public speaking, and forge meaningful connections with my audience. I was also elected twice as captain of the GRHS Varsity Golf Team and achieved individual recognition by securing top honors in the NJSIAA North 2 Group 1 Jersey State Sectionals. In recognition of my proficiency in organization and communication, I was elected by my peers as President of both the GRHS Business Club and the Glen Ridge Sportsmen Service League.Furthermore, I had the privilege of interning for the GRHS's Director of Athletics, which provided me with valuable experience in navigating professional settings, interacting with various stakeholders, and further developing my communication and interpersonal skills.In my personal life, I enjoy playing golf, traveling, and cheering for the Tide.
