Profile
In Her Own Words
I am a sophomore at Auburn University's Harbert College of Business, majoring in Accounting. What sets my path apart is that I've already done real financial-services work, not just coursework — cleaning and validating an 8,000+ account CRM database, building a compliance research workflow from scratch, and presenting project updates directly to the CEO, all before finishing my second year of college.
Alongside that internship, I was selected for three competitive professional development programs at Auburn — the Rising Accounting & Analyst Program, the Professional Sales Association, and Women in Business — where I am building relationships with firms and mentors ahead of recruiting. I've also taken on chapter-wide leadership as T-Shirt Chair for a 400+ member Alpha Chi Omega chapter, managing vendor relationships and invoice reconciliation.
I am looking for accounting and finance internship opportunities where I can keep building on the CRM, research, and client-facing skills I developed at Chicago Clearing Corporation — ideally with a firm that values initiative and gives early-career team members real responsibility.
