Who I am beyond Finance
I’m someone who is drawn to ideas, stories, and communities. My research has explored how misinformation shapes public perception and how politics unfold across the world. I find inspiration in the voices of Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison, and in the art books stacked on my coffee table.
I enjoy exploring disciplines beyond my own, from design and education to behavioral economics, and discovering how they connect back to people and systems. Curiosity, collaboration, and creative problem-solving guide me, whether I’m volunteering, exploring New York’s cultural spaces, or building connections with people who share a vision for impact.
After a long day of work, I find clarity in motion, whether through a quiet walk, a good run, in puppy yoga, or at a cat café. I enjoy curating literature reviews that uncover patterns across disciplines, and I’m happiest when I’m learning, creating, or making the complex feel simple. Big believer in the saying - if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.
Some of my favorite moments have been unexpected, such as ringing the closing bell at the NYSE and earning a scholarship that brought me to New York City. I enjoy Planet Money on my commute, meal prepping, practicing gratitude, and spending time with people who matter. I feel at home both on hiking trails and at the beach, and I love both cats and dogs.
Looking ahead
My expertise has evolved from the ground-level mechanics of transaction and processing to the broader perspectives of reporting and core business analysis. This comprehensive journey has made one thing clear: the future of finance lies in its ability to drive strategy.
I am now actively steering my career toward that future of Strategy & Insight. I am equipping myself with the necessary tools, specifically Power BI and Python, to automate manual work and uncover the predictive power within the numbers. My ambition is to be a key contributor in a tech-forward company, serving as a voice that transforms financial data into a strategic asset.
