About

I graduated from Elon University with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Psychology, and I hold Series 7, Series 3, Series 30 and SIE certifications. My diverse interests in finance, real estate, design, sales, and writing from an early start have shaped me for my current role as a Branch Officer. My skills in capital markets, Microsoft Office, and Python, and strategic planning enable me to navigate the complexities of derivatives trading, driven by my passion for the futures markets.
