Summary
I am a high school senior intending to pursue a degree in Finance. I am deeply drawn to the field of finance and banking, particularly the strategic side of the industry, how deals are structured, how businesses create and sustain value, and how mergers and acquisitions reshape entire markets. The dynamics between the sell side and buy side genuinely fascinate me, as they reveal how capital, incentives, and decision-making intersect at the highest levels. I am eager to further explore these topics and develop a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that drive modern financial systems.
