What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven economics student with a strong foundation in financial analysis, data analytics, and fintech innovation.

I thrive in high-pressure environments, showcasing my problem-solving abilities and teamwork skills.
During my internship at Trufation, I developed an AI-driven Consumer Confidence Index and contributed to economic research for an Electric Vehicle Metals Index. My role as a basketball referee at the University of Victoria has honed my communication skills and professionalism, allowing me to effectively resolve disputes on the court. I am bilingual in English and Mandarin, which enhances my global perspective in dynamic financial markets.
