About

I am a Third-Year Economics-Finance student at Bentley University with a strong interest in combining analytical skills with real-world business and financial insights. Through my experience as a Marketing and Financial Analyst Intern at Boynton Insurance Group, I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills by producing financial reports, analyzing business performance data, managing CRM processes, and implementing workflow automation to improve operational efficiency. I have also gained valuable client-facing experience in the restaurant industry as a hostess and server, strengthening my communication, teamwork, and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments. As a results-driven achiever, I am seeking an internship where I can apply my skills while continuing to expand my knowledge of finance, business operations, and strategic decision-making.
