Lauren Spelts

I am currently a junior at the University of Arkansas pursuing a degree in Finance, with plans to graduate in May 2026. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a passion for finance, sparked by my Intro to Finance course

I have gained a diverse set of skills through various customer service and administrative roles, including positions at Sonic, Brass Tap, and Park Village Nails. In these roles, I developed strong communication, problem-solving, and time-management abilities, often working in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and client satisfaction were key.

My coursework has provided me with a strong foundation in financial principles, investment analysis, and market dynamics. Notable projects include financial modeling exercises where I analyzed stocks and calculated beta and return rates, enhancing my analytical skills. Additionally, my participation in extracurricular activities, such as the Walton Finance Club and Future Women Business Leaders Club, has allowed me to deepen my understanding of finance and develop leadership and teamwork skills.
