What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in financial analysis or data analytics, where I can apply my skills and contribute to innovative projects.

I am a results-driven economics student with a strong foundation in financial analysis, data analytics, and fintech innovation. My experience includes leveraging AI, blockchain, and quantitative methods to tackle economic challenges. 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.
