About
I am a sophomore at the University of Illinois Chicago pursuing a double major in Finance and Accounting, currently serving as Sector Leader for the Financial Sector of UIC's Portfolio Management Team and interning as an FP&A analyst at a growth-stage company.
I've worked in customer-facing roles since high school and take pride in being someone people can rely on. I'm a first-generation college student, bilingual in English and Spanish, and I take pride in my work ethic, eagerness to learn, and being someone people can rely on.
Over the next year, I'm looking for experience in finance and accounting through internships, student organizations, and professional development. I'm particularly interested in wealth management, investment banking, and investment banking roles. If you have any leads on finance or accounting opportunities, I'd be happy to connect.
Finance + Accounting student at UIC.
I have worked across sales, hospitality, and finance in part-time and full-time roles to build a strong work ethic, adapt to different environments, and learn from a wide range of people.
