I have always loved numbers. Equally as much, I enjoy analyzing, understanding, and solving problems. Over time, my enthusiasm for numbers and problem solving expanded beyond mathematics and I developed a fierce passion for finance and technology. I firmly believe that these interrelated disciplines can facilitate solutions to some of the world’s most significant issues, like feeding the hungry, achieving equitable employment, minimizing negative impacts of energy use, and improving how we communicate.

As a student at UCLA studying Business Economics and Mathematics, I’ve been able to learn about the application of theoretical subjects. Though interesting, subjects like multivariable calculus, economic theory, and managerial accounting are not useful without corresponding career experience. Luckily, through various clubs I have joined at UCLA, collaborative and motivated fellow students have laid the path for starting careers in consulting, investing, and investment banking. Learning from direct experience has been extremely beneficial for my intellectual and professional growth, which is why I’ve become involved with many clubs and internships.

I am constantly on the lookout for ways to gain experience and better myself, not simply to achieve academic and professional success, but to become a fully-realized person. Most of all, I have a bottomless enthusiasm for discovery—whether it’s climbing mountains at night, surfing at sunrise, learning about the latest technology M&A, or working late on Excel. At the start of every day, I genuinely look forward to my future endeavors and adventures!
