Moreover, as a Venture Capital Summer Analyst at an M&A firm based in Switzerland, I developed valuable insights into international market trends and the global venture investing landscape. This spring, I will expand my expertise in investment management as a Financial Planning & Wealth Management Intern.On campus, I serve as the Vice President of Finance for the Smith Investment Fund.

Since then, I have continued my growth as a young business professional by actively seeking out opportunities that have allowed me to enhance my skill set and broaden my perspectives.Currently, I also work as the youngest hire for an entertainment law firm based in Beverly Hills, where I am simultaneously expanding my knowledge in corporate development, media relations, and the legal industry.I am always looking to build my network, so please feel free to reach out.
