As a Finance and Management major at the University of Maryland, College Park, I’m driven by a commitment to understanding financial systems. I am also pursuing a minor in Environmental Science and Technology to gain insights into sustainability, a perspective I believe is crucial for future business leaders.My experiences in finance, leadership, and research reflect my dedication to both professional growth and community impact. In my role as Finance Subteam Lead for UMD’s Wind Terpines, I manage budgets and develop financial models to support our team in the Department of Energy's Collegiate Wind Competition, where we are working to innovate sustainable energy solutions. I am also expanding my financial knowledge and skillset through my involvement in the International Economic and Finance Society.One of my proudest projects is authoring Zoya’s Marvelous Adventures in Money, a children’s book introducing personal finance concepts through storytelling. Through this initiative, I have reached over 100 young readers, donating proceeds to FitMoney, a nonprofit for financial literacy.My early professional experiences, from retail work to high school leadership roles, have shaped my skills in team management and strategy. I look forward to leveraging these experiences in future finance roles where I can further explore my passion for the subject.
