Bio

I am currently a first year student at Cornell's business student. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. My passions are sports and business. I am also very interested in human behavior/psychology and history, I spend a lot of time reading about these two subjects. I am pursuing my MBA. I am very passionate about the financial service industry, but also, anything finance related. I have a breath of experience, i have work in investment banking, equity research, and operated my own consulting firm for a bit. I am a self starter, and in order to pursue my interest and advance in my career, I have actually completed many projects myself. I enjoy working in teams, which I gained from playing sports growing up. I always enjoy helping others and seeing others succeed.
