Summary

I am a real estate student with a background in philosophy, politics, and economics. I focus on financial analysis, sustainable development, and urban systems. My academic and professional interests include real estate development, commercial asset analysis, and strategic planning, with a professional ambition to connect financial performance with social and environmental value. I hold the CFA Certificate in ESG Investing. The ESG perspective makes me view real estate not just as a financial product but as a living system, where design, capital, and community collaborate to create sustainable prosperity. I am particularly interested in how institutional frameworks, investment structures, and spatial planning can foster long-term resilience in commercial and mixed-use developments. By combining strong analytical skills with a systems-based mindset, I aim to contribute to projects that harmonize profitability, ecological integrity, and human well-being. My goal is to help create environments where economic vitality and social sustainability reinforce one another.
