I’m a commerce student with corporate finance experience and entrepreneurial roots, blending analytical expertise with real-world leadership and customer insight.
About
As a commerce student with a hunger to learn and grow from a young age, I’ve built valuable experience both inside and outside the classroom. Helping run my family business and co-owning a pizza restaurant gave me early exposure to leadership, customer relations, and the realities of managing a fast-paced operation. Alongside that, internships in finance, tax, and ERP systems have strengthened my analytical and technical skills. This portfolio highlights the journey that has shaped me and the skills I bring to every opportunity.

24-Hour Case
Built a 5-year budget in Excel under time pressure; implemented a “thermostat” time plan to keep delivery on track and quality high.
Start-Up Experience
I played a key role in launching a restaurant from the ground up, overseeing everything from sourcing suppliers and coordinating with the city to handling licensing, permits, and paperwork. I recruited, trained, and managed a team of employees while setting up payroll, scheduling, and day-to-day operations. This hands-on experience gave me a practical understanding of what it takes to build and run a business balancing operations, compliance, and people management and strengthened my problem-solving and leadership skills.
Below are some pictures from our opening day and a couple of videos I created for our marketing.
