Event Assistant @ BTL Industries

About

As a fourth year Finance student at the UBC Sauder School of Business, I’ve built a strong foundation in financial analysis, strategic thinking, and business operations. My experience leading cross-functional teams in both entrepreneurial and non-profit settings has taught me how to turn ideas into action and create value in fast-moving environments. I’m passionate about new business development and driven by a desire to build initiatives that make a lasting impact—whether through community engagement, financial strategy, or collaborative leadership.
