About

Columbia SIPA candidate specializing in International Finance and Economic Policy, pivoting from nonprofit and INGO experience to private sector consulting and finance.

Seeking to balance and apply my analytical skills and global perspective to help leading firms navigate international markets, assess geopolitical risks, and identify strategic opportunities at the intersection of policy and business. At SIPA, I'm strengthening my financial modeling, economic, and quantitative analysis capabilities while leveraging my unique background in data-driven program evaluation and stakeholder engagement. I've managed complex multi-stakeholder initiatives, from education savings programs with NYC school districts to UN workshops with government officials.
