ABOUT AQUILLES NAVA

I’m a first-generation college student who’s passionate about learning, building, and creating meaningful impact. At San Diego State University, I’m studying Finance and shaping my path through hands on experiences in entrepreneurship, finance, and business. I started Authentic Car Detailing, a five star auto detailing business that taught me how to lead, serve clients, and grow something from the ground up. Alongside that, I’ve worked with a TravelTech startup, where I helped design data driven tools in finance, operations, and automation, blending creativity with strategy every day.What drives me most is curiosity. I love understanding how businesses work, but even more, how they create value that truly lasts. I’m drawn to fast moving, people driven environments that challenge me to think critically and encourage innovation with purpose.My philosophy is simple: learn deeply, stay curious and humble, lead through service, help others win, and execute with excellence, even in the small things. I’m continuously growing toward a future in FP & A, with a long term goal of leading organizations that balance profit, innovation, and impact.Outside of work, I stay grounded through faith, fitness, and personal growth, the foundations that keep me disciplined, focused, and grateful for every opportunity to learn and lead.
