Washington, District of Columbia, United States
I graduated from the University of Chicago's MA in Social Sciences (MAPSS), where I concentrated in Economics and completed a certificate in Computational Social Science. I also hold a BS in Management Science from the University of California, San Diego, with a minor in Law. Living and studying in 3 countries (China, Venezuela, and the United States) has given me a unique international perspective and cultural competency--I am always excited to learn more about different cultures. My commitment to data-driven decision-making and service-minded leadership motivated me to explore experiences in diverse fields such as economic and management consulting, equity research, business analytics, business development, and wealth management. I am currently a senior analyst at Compass Lexecon, applying quantitative analyses for mergers and acquisitions, litigation, and damage cases in the antitrust & competition practice. I genuinely enjoy working with others and believe collaboration is key to driving value for clients across industries, especially in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment.
