Navigating the challenges of pursuing my Finance and Accounting double major at Elmhurst University has been a journey marked by growth and determination. I've consistently pushed the boundaries of my understanding in accounting principles and financial knowledge, striving for excellence every step of the way.

My success is rooted in a blend of meticulous attention to detail and a strong work ethic. This combination has propelled me forward, enabling me to not only progress through my degrees but to excel in completing them.

My enthusiasm for technology, translates into the usage of applications like Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, and has been instrumental in my academic and professional endeavors. I am always looking to learn something new, so I'm adept at leveraging these tools to analyze data, create presentations, and streamline processes—essential skills in my chosen fields.

Also, collaboration is where I thrive. I genuinely enjoy working with teams, where I actively contribute ideas and solutions while respecting and integrating others' perspectives. Taking initiative to tackle complex challenges is second nature to me, and I believe in harnessing the collective expertise of a team to achieve optimal outcomes.

I love to use my enthusiasm for technology to build custom computers for friends and family. I install operating systems, update BIOS and set them up with the software they need for games, editing, business etc. I also love to work on my own car on my spare time, and I jump to any opportunity to learn how things work and go together, whether that be mechanically, electronically or in my areas of study.
