Summary

I’m a Financial Planning student minoring in Economics, as well as an Entrepreneur with a focus on tax strategy. I’m currently balancing my studies with hands-on tax work and managing my own ventures to see how financial theory applies to real-world growth. I’m passionate about understanding the tax implications of wealth-building and am working to combine my classroom learning with the practical experience of being a business owner.
