Having one parent who grew up in Spanish Harlem, NYC, and another from the Bronx has embedded in me grit and determination. Growing up, I loved the thrill of fighting for what I believed in and of showing off the skill set I worked to build. Today, I find these qualities even more prevalent, with a refined and professional style. Collaborative, innovative, analytical, and full of ideas are the most common traits I have been told I exhibit. Working in teams throughout internships and academics has played a key role in my ability to lead effectively. My interests are many and varied, but they define me in that I find passion and appreciation for any task or challenge. Not only that, but I can step up to the plate and exceed expectations. I love the thrill of solving complex problems and learning new skills, leading to a background in computer science, physics, and, most importantly, for my future career, finance!
