I am a rising senior studying Finance and an aspiring investment professional. My passion for investing has brought me to the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University. Over the span of my collegial career, I have gained experience in the Investment Management and Equity Research industries. This has encouraged me to develop a knowledge base on valuation and aptitude in financial analysis. I was able to apply my knowledge this year as a summer analyst on Morgan Stanley's Tactical Value team: an opportunistic and flexible private investment fund.I am devoted to improving my community, which has led me to join multiple on and off-campus organizations as an executive board member, financial analyst, and even a Co-Founder. Further, I serve as the energy sector Portfolio Manager at my university’s student managed investment fund. Participating in these clubs has given me extensive experience in time management, team planning, and communication.I am originally from Long Beach, NY, and I enjoy skiing, hiking, rock climbing, skating, and collecting vintage clothing in my free time. I am also a huge film enthusiast and have produced/assisted with some award winning short films in high school. Feel free to reach out to chat, or if you have any questions!
