About

I am a self-motivated student currently pursuing a degree in Finance at the Marriott School of Business. I am working towards a career in Corporate Finance with a particular interest in retail and tech companies. I am experienced in teaching, leading, writing, networking, training, and management. I also have intermediate to advanced skills in several technical languages including VBA, Excel/Solver, SQL, Tableau, and web development.

My work experience and participation in case competitions, clubs, and volunteer organizations have helped me to become an influential leader and valuable team player. I deeply value experiential learning and seek to cultivate growth opportunities that expand my horizons as well as those of whom I teach and lead.

I am an active member of the BYU community and have participated as a Finance tutor, Honors program advisor, Pre-Business student mentor, and Y-serve volunteer. I believe that these experiences have helped me to gain a deeper appreciation for teamwork, mentorship, and networking. They have helped me to round out my skillset and build lasting friendships.

When I'm not hustling between work, school, and side projects, you'll find me organizing game nights with friends, enjoying quality time with my wife, or jamming at the piano. I'm the kind of person who loves to work hard, play hard. There's nothing more important to me than my family and close friends, and I'd do anything for them if need be.

Feel free to reach out!
