About

Spirited learner, passionately curious, innovative, and always ready to tackle new challenges. New grad looking for a role in finance, consulting, or venture capital. In my spare time, I love to tinker with hardware - I've built Ethereum mining rigs, mechanical keyboards, computers, speakers, and more. Also a major tea nerd - ask me anything!
