About Me

I'm a passionate ECE & Business Honors student at UT Austin with experience in investment banking and financial technology. Currently involved with multiple prestigious finance programs including Wall Street for McCombs and Texas Investment Banking Association, while maintaining leadership roles in Texas Equity Group and Delta Tau Delta. I am thrilled to be joining Guggenheim Securities' Capital Structure Advisory Group next summer.

My experience spans from investment banking at Fortitude Advisors to financial planning at Ameriprise Financial, combined with technical projects in quantitative finance and embedded systems. I'm passionate about the intersection of finance and technology, bringing both analytical rigor and creative problem-solving to complex challenges.
