Who I Am

About Me

I'm a junior at UC Davis studying Economics with a minor in Statistics, expected to graduate in June 2027. I'm passionate about the intersection of data, strategy, and finance, and how analytical thinking drives real business decisions.

In the summer of 2025, I studied at Aalto University in Finland and consulted for an early-stage health tech startup, where I built a pricing strategy and market-entry framework. The company adopted the strategy report in its pilot and has since raised €1.1M.

Outside the classroom, I serve as President of Theta Chi and manage operations for UC Davis's Baja SAE racing team, roles that have sharpened my financial management, team leadership, and strategic planning skills.

I'm drawn to roles in finance, consulting, strategy, and data analytics where I can bring both quantitative rigor and business instinct to the table.
