I've been in finance for 5 years now, and I'm actually the first in my family to get into this field. We have a lot of engineers and doctors in my family, so I just wanted to do something different, and that's when finance really stuck out to me. After graduating from Northview High School in Johns Creek, I went to Georgia State University in Atlanta where I did my Bachelor's in Business Administration with a concentration in finance. After graduation, I started working for Fiserv, where I began my current career. Two years in, I decided to pursue a master's degree in information technology with a minor in cybersecurity because the current upcoming topics around the world are computer science, AI, and cybersecurity. I completed my Master's at Purdue University. Today, I handle a $600 million P&L, doing budgeting and forecasting for this product, talking to leadership, reporting key findings, and helping them make key business decisions almost daily. My most notable professional achievement so far is helping leadership make a decision that actually made them roll out the current product that I work on, and it has been one of the most upcoming digital banking products for Fiserv so far.
