About me

I’m an Economics major at UIUC (Class of ’27) who thrives on building genuine connections—whether that’s guiding first-time homebuyers as a licensed Illinois broker, mentoring local youth, or collaborating with teammates on the basketball court. I love diving into market data and turning insights into action, all while keeping my communication clear and client-focused. Outside the classroom, you’ll find me playing soccer, lifting weights, or exploring new trails with friends—because connection and competition are two things I love. I’m also passionate about Spanish and cultural immersion: next year I’ll study at Universidad de Granada (Fall 2025) as part of my Spanish minor, working toward fluency and a truly global perspective. ESADE University in Barcelona (Spring 2026) continuing my Spanish journey while primarily focusing on my Economics major. Feel free to reach out any time!
