I am a data-driven investment analyst with a strong ownership mindset and a passion for financial markets and analytics. I continuously research public markets and actively oversee my personal equities portfolio while enhancing my skill set.

At Compass Group I helped raise over US$30M for private equity, private credit, and real estate funds by building IC-ready investor decks, coordinating cross-functional teams, and conducting thorough due diligence. I developed complex financial models including scenario and cash-flow waterfall analyses.

As an Investment Analyst at a family office, I created comprehensive financial models, valuations (DCF and multiples), and implemented options strategies such as covered calls and secured puts to manage risk and generate alpha. I also leveraged AI tools to accelerate research, modeling, and presentation development under tight deadlines.

I hold a Bachelor's in Business Administration from Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga and bring practical experience presenting in English to regional teams and meeting senior management across sectors. I thrive on learning daily, multitasking under pressure, and delivering clear, investment-focused recommendations.
