About

Curious about how the world moves forward through goods, capital, ideas, and people. With a background in economics and mathematics, I’m interested in understanding not just how markets function, but how they can function better by becoming more efficient, equitable, and sustainable. I admire those who move the needle quietly but meaningfully. Through my work, I hope to contribute to stronger global systems that expand opportunity and deepen economic connectivity across borders. I want to create long-term value rather than short-term noise. Always open to sharp conversations, challenging perspectives, and picking the brains of people who think differently and think big.
