About
I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelor of Science in Finance and a Certificate in FinTech. I’m a motivated, outgoing, and detail-oriented person who enjoys learning new things, meeting people, and challenging myself. My experiences in banking, sales, and customer service have helped me become a strong communicator, an adaptable problem-solver, and someone who works well both independently and with a team.
Outside of my professional interests, I enjoy golfing, working out, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. I value consistency, personal growth, and maintaining a positive attitude. Whether I’m working toward a professional goal or improving at something I enjoy, I’m someone who puts in the effort, stays open to feedback, and always looks for ways to grow.
