Summary
A Finance major at Minnesota State University, Mankato with a strong work ethic shaped by over six years of experience working as a farm worker. Through my academic coursework, I’ve developed a solid foundation in financial analysis, budgeting, and problem solving, while my time in agriculture has taught me the value of responsibility, consistency, and teamwork.
Working on a farm required long hours, adaptability, and attention to detail skills that translate directly into the finance and business world. I am motivated, dependable, and eager to apply both my analytical skills and real-world work experience to internships and entry-level opportunities in finance.
