Franchise Build Profitability Analysis
Finance Intern
Challenge
Skyward was building Pickleball Kingdom franchise locations without a structured cost-efficiency framework. Profitability was inconsistent across builds and the root causes were not clearly understood.
Approach and Result
Mapped the build process end-to-end, identified the key variables driving cost variance, and developed a recommendation set to standardize high-impact decisions. The analysis projected a 64% increase in build profitability if implemented.

I Thought a Perfect GPA Would Get Me an Internship… Here’s What Actually Did
Published on LinkedIn

I originally believed that strong grades alone would be enough to land opportunities, but through conversations with recruiters and professionals I realized that curiosity, coachability, and discipline matter just as much.
The piece explores the mindset shifts that helped me approach interviews differently and focus more on learning, asking thoughtful questions, and building meaningful relationships.
