About Alena Ultes

I am a junior pursuing a double major in Finance and Entrepreneurship, with a minor in Legal Studies. My goal is to apply these skills to build and scale businesses, make strategic financial decisions, and eventually lead or own ventures of my own. I am an active member of Chi Omega, Women in Finance, and Beta Alpha Psi, where I engage in leadership, networking, and professional development opportunities. Maintaining a 3.92 GPA while being actively involved in campus organizations, I am passionate about developing practical business skills and gaining exposure to real-world financial strategy and operations. I am currently seeking an internship for the Summer of 2026, where I can apply my skills and gain hands-on, real-world experience.
