Summary

3rd year Finance student at West Virginia University set to graduate May, 2025 with an undergraduate in Business Finance. I specialize strengths in areas of market decision-making research, sales negotiation, and business management. During the school year, I represent my fraternity as president. Through various officer positions in the fraternity I’ve grown meticulous decision-making skills, good delegation instincts, planning-managing-execution dependence, and strong leadership skills. During winter/summer, I work as a private contractor for a local service business, CardintheGarden. I handle various tasks such as deliveries/set-ups/ customer service/ inventory/ and assist in sales.
