Bio

I am passionate about financial markets, macroeconomics, and using quantitative analysis to solve complex problems. I will be pursuing a Master’s in Financial Engineering at Columbia University, with long-term goals of pursuing a PhD and building a career at the intersection of investing, research, and financial engineering. Beyond finance, I am passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation. I founded a sustainability-focused startup and have worked with multiple early-stage ventures through Columbia Business School. I believe my combination of analytical experience, intellectual curiosity, and entrepreneurial mindset makes me a strong candidate and reflects my commitment to creating meaningful impact through both finance and technology.
