Engineering by training — drawn to finance, investing, and writing.
I'm a student at Princeton University, majoring in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and minoring in Creative Writing — with interests in finance, investing, and writing.
Through experience in investment research, student leadership, and campus organizations, I enjoy analyzing complex problems, communicating ideas clearly, and building a strong foundation across business and the humanities.
