Finance & Accounting Student
Building a Future in Financial Analysis
Hoàng Gia Như — known professionally as Stella
Third-year Finance and Accounting student at Saigon University, currently preparing for the CFA Level I exam. I bring hands-on experience coordinating software projects and community finance initiatives — sharpening the analytical thinking, attention to detail, and stakeholder communication I want to carry into financial analysis, audit, and corporate finance work.
About Me
Meet Stella
Who I am
I'm Hoàng Gia Như — Stella in a professional setting — a Finance and Accounting student at Saigon University with a genuine curiosity for how businesses make financial decisions. I'm currently preparing for the CFA Level I exam, expected in May 2027, as the foundation for a career in financial analysis and corporate finance.
What's shaping my path
Alongside coursework, I work as a Project Assistant at MITS LLC, where I track deliverables, prepare client-facing documentation, and coordinate across teams on software projects. It isn't a finance role, but it has trained me in the discipline financial work demands: structured thinking, careful documentation, and clear communication under deadlines.
Where finance meets people
As a volunteer finance and event coordinator at Mhee Care and Share, I help plan budgets and timelines for community programs — a reminder that financial planning ultimately serves people and outcomes, not just spreadsheets. Outside of that, music (piano, violin, and a handful of other instruments) keeps me disciplined, patient, and attentive to detail in a very different way.

Numbers aren't the only discipline in my life. Years of playing music built habits I carry directly into how I study and work.

- Violin
- Cajon
- Harmonica
- Guitar
- Ukulele

Whether it's piano, violin, or one of the other instruments I play, music has quietly shaped how I approach everything else — including finance:
- Discipline
- Patience
