Projects where I owned the outcome, not just the task. Each had a real problem, a clear approach, and a result I can stand behind.
$15K in Marketing Waste, Eliminated
Skyward Construction Group · Finance Intern · 2025
- Challenge: Marketing spend was growing without anyone checking whether it produced returns.
- Approach: I audited spend line by line, isolated non-performing costs, and built the case to cut them, roughly 12 hours of work.
- Result: $15,000+ in non-performing spend identified and eliminated.
Operational Recommendations Projected to Lift Build Profitability 64%
Skyward Construction Group · Operations Intern · 2024–2025
- Challenge:Franchise builds were running inefficiently across scheduling, labor, and materials.
- Approach:I ran time studies, mapped the build workflow, and built operational recommendations targeting the largest cost leaks.
- Result:Projected 64% improvement in build profitability.
Building the 2nd-Largest Org on Campus
Ole Miss Business Club · VP & President-Elect · 2025–Present
- Challenge: Build a credible, career-focused organization from scratch, no legacy, no funding.
- Approach: Led strategy and operations, secured sponsorships, and structured the club for legitimacy, including 501(c)(3) status.
- Result: 600+ members (2nd-largest at Ole Miss), $7,200+ in sponsorships in one semester, and the first student club at Ole Miss to earn 501(c)(3) status.
Invited to Speak on Early Investing (as a Freshman)
University of Mississippi Business Communications · 2023
- Challenge: Make compounding and early investing land for a room of students who'd never been taught it.
- Approach: Walked the class through Roth IRAs, employer matches, index funds, and the math behind a $100/month habit at 20 beating $500/month at 35.
- Result: Invited back by the department; earned a guest-speaker credit as a freshman. The talk became the seed of my wealth-management thesis, people don't lack information, they lack someone they trust enough to act.
I Thought a Perfect GPA Would Get Me an Internship… Here's What Actually Did
I originally believed strong grades alone would land opportunities. Through conversations with recruiters and professionals, I learned curiosity, coachability, and discipline matter just as much, and that the candidates who win lead with relationships and thoughtful questions, not transcripts.
