Bio

I am a student at Kean University pursuing dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Accounting and Finance, with an expected graduation date of May 2027. I maintain a 4.0 GPA and was honored as the 2025 Student of the Year for the Department of Accounting and Finance. My goal is to build a career in finance where I can use my analytical and leadership skills to help organizations make sound financial decisions and contribute to economic growth in my community. I aspire to become a financial professional who creates opportunities for others and promotes responsible financial management. I work in the Treasury Department at Linden City Hall, where I prepare budgets, analyze financial reports, reconcile accounts, and assist with revenue and expenditure management. This experience has provided me with practical knowledge of accounting and public finance. On campus, I serve as Treasurer of the Student Government Association, managing budgets and helping plan events for students. I am also a Gold Leader in Kean’s Leadership Institute, where I mentor fellow students and strengthen my leadership abilities. Community service is a core part of who I am. Through mentoring, leadership programs, and volunteer events, I have completed over 100 hours of community service. These experiences have reinforced my commitment to giving back and supporting others. I am also a member of the New Jersey Collegiate Business Administration Association Honor Society. I am committed to using my education, leadership, and service to make a meaningful impact in the field of finance and in my community.
