About
The pattern has always been the same.
I played lacrosse through high school, finished as a captain, and we won the state championship my senior year. College has been pretty similar in terms of how I approach things.
Freshman year I joined SGA as an Honors College Senator. Sophomore year I was elected Class President and then became Deputy Treasurer, where I chaired the Appropriations Committee. This coming fall I move into the Treasurer role on the Executive Board, overseeing $600K+ in student fee funding. At ThermoFisher this summer I have been taking on real deliverables, not just observing.
Finance is where I want to build a career. I like working with numbers, I like understanding how businesses actually operate, and I want to be involved in decisions that matter. Investment banking and corporate finance are where I am focused.
I am actively looking for summer 2027 internships. If you think there could be a fit, reach out.
