I graduated cum laude from UCLA HSSEAS in Dec 2022 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. For my first three summers of undergrad, I interned at NASA JPL where I had the opportunity to work on NISAR, EMIT, and MSR. My work at JPL was quite varied, but included getting cleanroom, critical item handling, and electrostatic discharge certified to work in an ISO 8 rated cleanroom and handle engineering/flight hardware for testing.

Unknowingly, I discovered my passion for finance as a result of my newfound free time during quarantine. It started with using options to hedge my personal portfolio but continued with self-studying more traditional finance topics. Some teachings I found most valuable include MIT Professor Lo's Financial Theory I and NYU Professor Damodaran's Valuation + Corporate Finance courses. After JPL I interned at Wedbush as a TMT investment banking analyst, then at Cambridge Associates as an investment analyst. Currently, I am an investment analyst at Cadenza Ventures based in San Francisco.

In my free time, you'll probably find me optimizing credit card rewards, cooking new recipes, or running.
