Summary

Disciplined Financial Economics student, age 19. Balancing school, work, entrepreneurship, and service has taught me discipline and resilience. I am learning Bloomberg Education and building my thesis on short-term rentals and arbitrage. I listen to understand, I take feedback seriously, and I value honesty. I want to grow with a team, learn from others, and build a foundation for a career in finance and business.
