I'm a motivated graduate student pursuing a Master's in Business Analytics at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, with a focus on developing skills in data analytics and statistics to apply within the finance industry. With an undergraduate background in Economics and Finance, I am eager to strengthen my technical abilities to analyze complex business problems and drive innovation. Throughout my undergraduate program, I developed a variety of useful skills, such as conducting data analysis using R and Python, creating probability and valuation models in Excel, and working on several research projects. I hope to continue building these skills while adding more advanced analytical techniques and gaining hands-on experience in real-world scenarios.While I'm pursing my degree, some of my hobbies include basketball, chess, trivia, and trading in the stock market. These activities not only keep me engaged and competitive but also help sharpen my strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and ability to analyze trends—qualities that I continually apply to my academic and professional pursuits.I look forward to the opportunities that I encounter as I work towards my degree and beyond, excited to showcase my hard work and apply my skills in new and challenging environments.
