Pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Consumer & Family Financial Services with a minor in Hospitality Management at The Ohio State University. I am interested in pursuing a career in wealth management and financial planning, where I can help people make informed financial decisions and reach their goals. My work experience has given me strong skills in customer service, operations, and financial planning. While at Hollister/Abercrombie & Fitch I exceeded sales goals by building strong customer relationships. I also completed an internship with iCapital Network, where I gained exposure to alternative investments. Through class projects, I have built financial plans for clients, created a business plan, and researched customer service strategies. These experiences have helped me connect classroom learning with real world applications. I also serve as Marketing Lead for the Gujarati Student Association, where I manage social media and help organize cultural events with 100+ attendees.
