SMIF is a program at American University that allows students to get a taste of real world portfolio management by investing $1M of real money. The grade of the course is based almost entirely on performance against the SPX. As Fund Manager, I lead SMIF market discussions, make investment and sector weighting decisions to ensure outperformance over the market. Since joining the program I have contributed significantly to the funds outperformance each semester. I constantly pitch investment ideas, I built the funds DCF and report templates, manage the excel that tracks performance, provide research tools, and help analysts on their investment pitches. I have spent a majority of my time at American University being a part of SMIF and growing the program. My passion for financial markets and investments is unmatched and through this program I have thoroughly developed my investment philosophy. I have come to know and love the financial markets and am extremely happy doing security analysis.

Reviewed students’ financial models and reports, ensuring quality and accuracy while providing constructive feedback to enhance the persuasiveness of investment pitches. I led a team of students to independently conduct financial analysis using the Bloomberg Terminal, including equity research, technical analysis, fixed income valuation, and investment idea generation in all sectors of the U.S. stock market.

Pitched investment ideas to a $800k student-managed investment fund. Specialized in the Energy sector.

Assisted students with assignments, held office hours, fostered a supportive learning environment effectively explaining complex concepts, actively listening to student needs, and motivating them to achieve their academic goals.

Participated in the REIT investment fund where I specialized in the Data Center sector for REIT's. In REIT we worked together as a fund to outperform the VNQ (REIT Index). Pitched many REIT investment thesis's and deepened my passion for the markets.

Developed and led engaging brain-stimulating activities andgames for seniors in memory care and assisted living facilities across the Bay Area, fostering cognitive engagement and social interaction.
