Summary

I am a finance major on a four-year soccer scholarship. I took a gap year between high school and college to study, train, and live alone in Buenos Aires, Argentina - where I learned a new language and culture. The structure of being a Division I athlete with a finance major while working as a jr. staff accountant is preparing me for my future career. The skills in my arsenal, all come from my experience abroad as well as the rigors of working two jobs whilst being a student-athlete. A challenging position in financial analysis is the next step where I can best apply my accounting and financial knowledge to help this organization reach its goals.
