About Desiree Matthews

I am an Honors student at Temple University pursuing a dual degree in Political Science and Finance, with a strong interest in the intersection of law, business, and financial systems. I currently work as a Technical Specialist at Temple University, where I assist users, troubleshoot issues, and ensure efficient daily operations. In addition, I serve as a Treasure of PERIOD at Temple, where I manage budgeting, oversee financial transactions, and support initiatives focused on menstrual equity. My professional experience also includes working in a legal setting at Jacobs & Comerota, where I conducted client intake, assessed case eligibility, and supported attorneys through case preparation and document management. These roles have strengthened my skills in communication, organization, financial analysis, and problem-solving. I am seeking opportunities in legal, corporate, or financial environments where I can continue developing my analytical skills and gain hands-on experience. I am especially interested in roles related to corporate law, financial services, and business operations, and I am eager to connect with professionals in these fields.
