A bit More ABOUT ME
A student, a writer and a builder.
I am a senior high school student focused on understanding how ideas become systems, and how those systems shape opportunity. My interests lie at the intersection of finance, innovation, and sustainability, guided by a core question: who benefits, and how can we design better structures?
To me, finance is not just about markets; it is about leverage. When structured thoughtfully, capital can unlock access and drive durable change. I’m interested in building solutions that are both effective and responsible-practical, yet principled.
Writing is how I refine my thinking. Through essays, dialogue, and debate, I test assumptions and engage seriously with perspectives different from my own. Outside academics, I love playing golf. The game reminds me that patience, timing, and discipline matter, sometimes more than speed.
