I'm a second-year student at the University of Toronto Rotman School, specializing in Finance & Economics with a minor in Political Science. My interests at university include corporate law, policy research, political science, and financial markets. I'm looking for summer internships and opportunities that will build my technical finance, consulting, and leadership skills.
Having completed the International Baccalaureate program in high school, I've developed a strong work ethic and a focused, self-motivated mindset in my education. I've been involved in many extracurriculars, such as debating, math contests, athletics, music, and more. I've also participated in many volunteer experiences, ranging from tutoring and judging debate tournaments to environmental advocacy. My vision is to use my passions and skills, as well as my interest in finance and political science, to create and discover opportunities to help and inspire those around me.
