Academic Trainee @ KPMG | Data Science & Economics @ Krea University

About

I’m interested in how businesses actually work beneath the surface and what drives their key decisions. I’m a fourth-year Data Science and Economics double major. Outside of academics, I’m currently building early-stage ventures, have been part of my university’s competitive dance crew and am a professional classical dancer.
