Summary

Finance graduate with hands-on experience in operations leadership, financial analysis, and team management. I thrive in fast-paced, detail-driven environments where accuracy and problem-solving are critical. From managing complex warehouse workflows to leading a student-managed investment fund, I’ve developed a strong work ethic and the ability to adapt quickly under pressure. I’m eager to bring my skills, discipline, and passion for finance to H&R Block’s Rotational Financial Analyst Program.
