San Diego,CA

Summary

Growing up in San Diego, I’ve always embraced an active lifestyle– whether it’s fishing along the coast, traveling to new places, or competing on the lacrosse field. I am extremely passionate about exploring new ideas and expanding my knowledge on business. Whether it’s developing a business concept, writing about finance, or taking on leadership roles, I am always looking for ways to grow, innovate, and make an impact as I navigate high school with the intent of majoring in finance in college.
