SUMMARY

Seeking mid or senior-level role in corporate finance, underwriting, or strategy. 12+ years of experience in commercial banking, financial advisory, and international audit. Paused corporate banking career to explore an interest in dentistry and completed most pre-medicine coursework in 12 months at 4.0 GPA and 95th percentile entrance exam (DAT) score. However, I am choosing to forgo dental school out of careful consideration for cost and industry economics.
