Los Angeles, California, United States
I’m a first-year student at the USC Marshall School of Business with an intended concentration in Finance. I've been building ventures from a young age, most notably founding and scaling an e-commerce endeavor that sells accessories and decor. I later launched Contra Costa Shark Tank, a county-wide entrepreneurship competition that attracted 300+ applicants and secured over $10,000 in corporate sponsorships. Today, I apply that same entrepreneurial mindset to finance and consulting. As a Business Analyst with RISE Consulting, I conduct market research and assess growth and capital strategy for startups, including for an AI startup serving private equity and investment banking clients. I’m especially interested in the intersection of finance, strategy, and innovation, and I’m motivated by opportunities that combine analytical rigor with real-world impact.
