JESSICA WILSON

Currently an Undergrad Student pursuing a degree in Strategic Finance, I thrive in environments that require precision, integrity, and collaborative problem-solving. I excel in fast-paced, high-pressure settings and am adaptable, quick to learn, and precise in multitasking - qualities that, I believe, align with the dynamic nature of an IHOP portfolio.
