Summary

Bilingual finance professional (English & German) with an international background spanning Germany and the United States. Graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a B.A. in Economics, combining academic rigor with strong leadership and networking skills as a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Gained hands-on experience in financial data analysis through an internship at LBBW, collaborating with senior private wealth managers to evaluate portfolios, assess market trends, and contribute to research on ESG initiatives and AI-driven financial insights. Played a key role in developing the “Trump-o-Meter,” a predictive election model designed to gauge market sentiment and potential policy impacts — an initiative that enhanced cross-departmental awareness of macroeconomic and political risk factors.

Further developed quantitative and trading skills through self-directed work in day trading and prop firm environments, successfully managing a live funded account with Topstep LLC. Currently preparing for the FINRA SIE exam, with long-term goals of earning the CFA designation and advancing within the global finance and investment industry.
