About

As a student at The University of Texas at Austin, I actively work to expand my horizons and strive to create impact in all my areas of interaction. My diverse interests have led me to pursue a BBA in Finance, as well as a minor in Management Information Systems and a certificate in Computer Science, while exploring employment options in Investment Management and Data Sciences. I eagerly engage in activities that broaden my scope of experiences, such as my involvement with The EY Ambassadors Program and Sponsors for Educational Opportunity. In the future, I hope to continue working in cutting-edge fields that both create social impact and spur innovation.
