About

I’m a Master’s student in Business Analytics at Columbia University, with a background in Accounting & Finance from PolyU. I enjoy turning messy data into clear insights and finding ways to make processes faster and smarter. I’ve had hands-on experience across investment banking, consulting, and business analytics. From building financial models for IPOs and M&As, to deploying RPA tools like UiPath that cut task times in half, I love seeing how data and technology can drive real results. Outside of work, I’m passionate about service and education—I even taught STEM to kids in Cambodia through a service-learning program. These experiences taught me not only technical skills, but also how to work with people, lead teams, and stay resourceful under pressure. Looking ahead, I’m excited to explore opportunities at the intersection of analytics, finance, and technology, and to keep building solutions that make a positive impact.
