Why do we wake up every morning?
How did humanity get here?
Where are we heading next?

These are the questions that drive me. I’ve always been drawn to the “why” and “how” behind the world around us, especially the economy and the forces that shape companies. That curiosity led me to study Economics and informs the way I analyze businesses and invest. It is about looking beyond numbers to understand the systems, incentives, and human behavior underneath them.

But the past is only a guidepost. To build the future, we must pair historical insight with forward thinking by using data, creativity, and imagination. My pursuit of new and unconventional ideas brought me to the Master of Analytics program at Berkeley, where I aim to turn curiosity into impact.

When I’m not exploring data or ideas, you’ll probably find me hiking a new trail, playing tennis, or capturing a sunset through my camera lens, a reminder that beauty, like truth, often reveals itself in fleeting moments of attention.
