At the age of 12, I opened my first custodial brokerage account, thanks to my Dad's passion for finance. He would challenge me with market quizzes and share investment strategies that fueled my early interest in the financial world. This exposure ignited a passion for business that has continued to grow, driving my pursuit of a finance degree. As a finance major at the Kelley School of Business and an active member of the Financial Services Club, I’m building my expertise in financial analysis and market research. Through the start of my involvement in the Restructuring and Distressed Investing Club, I’ve started developing strong teamwork and problem-solving skills, while also refining my understanding of valuation and financial modeling. These experiences, combined with my dedication to continuous learning, are shaping me into a well-rounded finance learner. Outside of academics, I’m passionate about surfing and the outdoors. I find that both challenge me to adapt quickly to changing conditions, which translates well to the fast-paced and unpredictable world of finance. These moments outdoors are key for helping me bring fresh energy and perspective when I return to my work. I’m always open to new opportunities, whether it’s connecting with professionals in the field, exploring internships, or collaborating on projects. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!
