At Model ML, I built an AI agent that creates executive-ready company profile presentations and workflows for bond issuer analysis. I also developed five reusable quantitative finance skills, reducing build time by approximately 50%.

At Acuity Knowledge Partners, I supported global investment banking teams with M&A research, valuation, and pitchbooks. I conducted comparable company and precedent transaction analyses across six or more sectors, and developed PowerPoint presentations and Tableau visualizations for client-facing work.

As an Associate, I managed project delivery and led teams of two to three analysts. I also trained and onboarded more than 10 new joiners.
