Matteson,IL

Summary

I am a full-time Finance student at Illinois State University, consistently maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Well-connected within the business majors community, I am known for my reliability, strong work ethic, and ability to balance academic success with personal passions. Outside the classroom, I am dedicated to fitness, training five days a week, and actively involved at the campus recreation center, which I live near and frequently utilize.

Over the past summer, I worked as a Dynamic Coach at GNC, where I delivered customized training programs and led nutrition workshops designed to enhance athletic performance. This role strengthened my communication skills, leadership abilities, and customer engagement strategies—fostering both team cohesion and client loyalty. I focus on developing core strength, functional movement, and overall well-being in both personal and professional settings.

In addition, I completed a real estate internship at D.E.P. Development, my father’s company, where I gained firsthand experience in property management, investment analysis, and client relations. Growing up in an environment rooted in financial literacy, I developed a strong foundation in money management, investing, and long-term financial planning from an early age.

As I continue my studies, I am actively pursuing internship and job opportunities in the finance field, where I can leverage my diverse skill set, practical experience, and passion for financial growth and strategy.
