My interest in finance stemmed from the idea of helping businesses improve their efficiency and gathering data to work toward that improvement. I want to work across a multitude of departments to gain knowledge and share information on how to improve a company's efficiency while looking at trends and progresses. I have taken Economics courses such as Macroeconomics and International Business that have influenced my pursuit of global finance. These courses have provided me with knowledge of the technical skills that are required of the career, including Microsoft Excel. I am looking forward to participating in different experiences that allow me to learn the daily responsibilities and requirements of a financial analyst.
