Bio

Investments and businesses are the backbone of what drives successful societies. Without them, purpose, goals, and achievement would hold no meaning. So what is the fuel behind investments and businesses? Finance. With the investment of proper financing and the right amount of capital, great businesses have the ability to change the world and allow the brave to reach their dream. There are many flavors of finance and what I have found to be extremely fascinating is real estate and business valuation. Outside of my academic and career pursuits, I love fitness, sports, and entertainment. I love to try different flavors of exercising from lifting in the fall and winter to running and swimming in spring and summer. The Miami Dolphins are my favorite NFL football team and has always been since the day I was born. Lastly, I am also a huge marvel nerd and am always at a movie theatre for an MCU opening night movie premier.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Personal Finance Course

One skill that is not taught at any academic institution is personal finance management. It is extremely crucial that people understand how to handle their personal finances so they can provide for themselves and their families. The only issue is that money is a sensitive topic and finding a way to break down that barrier is more challenging than people realize. By understanding what proper personal finance is, you will be better set up for your future financial stability. This allows more opportunity to come your way since you will have access to more capital to invest in big potential ideas. Everyone has a different flavor of how personal finance should be so it is easy to get lost in the vast majority of opinions. However, after many conversations with successful elders, reading finance books or tips on the internet, or even watching mannerisms of successful people, you will recognize a pattern of behaviors that are consistent across all fronts. Once those patterns are recognized, documenting them in a digestible process is how these tips can be logged. These tips could potentially become an app, online course, or even an in-person seminar complete with tools and tips to help guide others. Once those all come together, it can be a brand/company that is known for teaching good financial habits and helping others achieve their financial goals.

Teaching experience

In high school, I used to be a math tutor for my younger brother's friends as well as a fellow classmate my age. Math was always a strong subject of mine so no matter what the flavor of math, I was able to help others understand and learn. In a more professional setting at PwC, I rose to an early promote senior and mentored interns/first years that started in my group after me. This involved guiding them to the answer instead of just telling them as well as staying late with them so they felt we were a team working together.
