Summary

Hello! I’m a junior in high school with a big interest in finance, economics, and business management. I enjoy working with numbers, spotting trends/patterns, and finding better ways to keep things organized and efficient. Whether it’s keeping track of spending or learning how businesses manage their resources, I’m always curious about how things actually work behind the scenes. At school, I stay active through volleyball, band, Girl Up Club, Lighthouse Club, and other activities that have helped me grow in leadership, communication, and problem-solving. I’m excited to keep learning about how finance and business strategy connect to make an impact and solve real-world challenges!
