About

Currently studying Financial Economics at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics and working at a Family Office learning the ropes in finance. I did my undergraduate education in liberal arts with a major in psychology and a minor in statistics. I'm interested in bringing my background in psychology, statistics, and finance together towards my work. I also take on freelance User Experience Design and Research projects. I'm interested in integrating human behaviour, design, and data.
