I earned a degree in Finance from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to prepare myself for a fast-paced and growth-focused caeer. During my senior year, I interned with the top sales team at MassMutual and learned the ropes of the Financial Services industry. After graduation, I worked at Merrill Lynch as a Team Financial Advisor. 

It was here that I attended a training conference and gained an appreciation of the technologies that made financial planning possible. I acted on my newfound interest by switching to an operational role on my team and taught myself software development. 

I recently attended a Software Engineering Fellowship at Hackbright Academy, where I developed the skills and became proficient in modern web development and computer science fundamentals.

I aspire to apply my technical and analytical skills as a full-stack software engineer in order to similarly advance the forefront of technology.
