Growing up in New York City taught me to always keep a business and entrepreneurial mindset, and working as a first mate on Western Long Island Sound party boats instilled a work ethic within me that will allow me to do anything I put my mind to. I am the most hard-working, social, and astute person I know, and now that I'm 18 I need a mentor to show me the ropes on my career path towards excellence. My dream is to be an investment strategist that uses my quantitative, programming, and social intellects to find the best opportunities, and nothing can stop me from attaining this goal.
