About

Hi, I am a recent graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration with an emphasis in finance in addition to a quantitative finance certificate. In addition to my studies, I keep my python data science skills up to date and I am always working to improve them. I have a deep love and enjoyment for derivatives and the complexity and challenge they bring but my professional interests have a wide range that includes equities, derivatives, FP&A, capital markets, financial analysis, corporate finance etc... In my personal life, I am an outdoorsman who loves camping, visiting national parks, climbing, and hiking. I am also a gym fanatic and a huge fan of NBA basketball (Go Nuggets!).
