Summary

I am a finance graduate with a strong, self-driven passion for investing, asset management, and financial education. Since 2019, I have managed a growing portfolio with assets under management (AUM) approaching $100,000. I employ long-term strategies, options trading, fundamental analysis, and disciplined asset allocation to build wealth from the ground up.

My interest in capital markets began during my time as a small business owner, where I gained firsthand experience in the importance of financial discipline and strategic reinvestment. I later returned to school to pursue a degree in Financial Services, achieving a GPA of 4.0. In addition to my coursework, I have engaged in extensive self-study of investment literature, exploring works by Graham, Dodd, Damodaran, and Rosenbaum.

I have successfully passed the FINRA SIE exam and completed an internship with Fund Launch Partners. During my internship, I analyzed emerging funds in alternative assets, conducted strategic research, and authored analysis and due diligence reports that were used by the firm's leadership. Known for my curiosity, commitment to learning, and practical financial judgment, I am passionate about helping individuals and institutions grow their assets through thoughtful investment strategies and clear communication.

I am looking to leverage this foundation in a role within asset management and financial advising, where I can continue to grow professionally and assist others in achieving their financial goals.
