What I'm looking for

I seek analyst roles on deal or research teams where I can apply financial modeling and research skills, grow in transaction execution, and work in collaborative, mentorship-driven environments.

I am an economics student at Stanford with hands-on experience in investment banking, private credit research, and legal operations. I have developed valuation models, pitched equity recommendations, produced macroeconomic intelligence, and supported M&A execution while managing client-facing responsibilities and sensitive information with discretion.

I lead financial operations for a student organization, manage a meaningful budget, and drive outreach and process improvements across campus programs. I bring strong data analysis, communication, and organizational skills, and I seek opportunities to contribute to deal teams, strategic finance projects, or policy-oriented research.
