About Me

As a dedicated college student at Arizona State University, majoring in Financial Planning, I am driven by a passion for finance and an unwavering commitment to excellence. My journey in the world of finance began with an enriching internship experience at JPMorgan Chase and Co., where I gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of the financial industry. My leadership skills shine through my active involvement in multiple executive boards, including Zaria, The Pretty Smart Club, Black Business Student Association, and Black Educators and Mentors. These experiences have not only honed my ability to collaborate effectively but also reinforced the importance of diversity and inclusion in the corporate world. My dedication to academic and professional growth has been recognized through scholarships from the Home and Irene Wood Foundation and the Otto & Edna Neely Foundation, further motivating me to excel in my field. Beyond my academic pursuits and leadership roles, I am a proud Black woman with entrepreneurial spirit. I have successfully launched and managed my hair business, combining my passion for beauty and business acumen. My background as a college student, leader, scholarship recipient, and entrepreneur reflects my multifaceted nature. I am poised to leverage these experiences, along with my Financial Planning education, to make a meaningful impact in the world of finance while championing diversity and inclusion.
