OMBC Recruiting Accelerator
PROBLEM
I navigated JPMorgan recruiting alone: no upperclassman walked me through the timeline, no one told me applications open earlier than most students realize. Talent is everywhere at Ole Miss. Access to mentorship is not.
APPROACH
Founded the Recruiting Accelerator as a standing OMBC institution, written into the club's constitution. Built a six-workshop curriculum with application-based selection to keep the cohort small enough for real mentorship.
RESULT
First cohort's applications launched July 2026. Success is measured by whether participants leave more prepared, confident, and connected — not offers alone.
LEADERSHIP
Ole Miss Business Club
PROBLEM
OMBC needed to become more than a club people show up to occasionally — funding, credibility, and a reason for talented students to invest their time in it, in a school of 23,000 where most people don't start standing out until junior year.
APPROACH
Led sponsorship outreach and secured OMBC's first tax-deductible nonprofit status. Built and now run a 10-member executive board. Formalized how the club operates — a constitution and a recognition system that rewards real contribution — so growth doesn't depend on any one person staying involved.
RESULT
$7.2K+ in sponsorships secured in one semester. Grew OMBC to 600+ members and 2nd-largest student org at Ole Miss, in one year.
FINANCE
Financial Analysis — Skyward Construction
PROBLEM
A construction group's marketing spend wasn't tied to performance, and no one had gone through the numbers line by line to check.
APPROACH
Audited marketing spend line by line, questioned every cost, and built the financial case for what to cut.
RESULT
$15K+ in costs eliminated from roughly 12 hours of analysis. Recommendations projected a 64% gain in build profitability.
INVESTING
Invited to Speak on Early Investing (as a Freshman)
PROBLEM
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.
