Summary

Transitioning from a professional basketball career to the world of finance, I enrolled at Boston University to pursue my newfound passion with the same drive and determination. Drawing parallels between the strategic plays of basketball and investment decisions, I thrive on teamwork and precision in navigating financial complexities. As I embark on this transformative journey, I carry with me the lessons of resilience and discipline learned from my athletic background, understanding that success in finance, like in sports, demands unwavering dedication and the courage to push boundaries.
