About

Numbers tell a story. I like being the one who reads it — and the one who explains it clearly to whoever's in the room.

I'm a junior at the USC Marshall School of Business and the Leventhal School of Accounting, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and a Master of Business Taxation — with graduation set for December 2027.

01

Tax & Accounting

My foundation is in the numbers themselves. At Deloitte, I audited and reconciled 500+ daily expenses to keep monthly filings accurate, then built an LLM-assisted workflow that classified entries with ~94% accuracy — cutting prep time by roughly 40 minutes per entry. That same attention to detail carries into my coursework at Leventhal, where I'm building toward a Master of Business Taxation.

02

Investment Banking & Financial Analytics

Across four internships in investment banking and research, I've built DCF and comparable-company models on deals ranging from $50M to $300M, benchmarked 30+ peer companies on relative valuation, and helped grow a qualified deal pipeline by 35%. I like the moment where a model stops being a spreadsheet and starts being a decision.

Outside of spreadsheets, I'm usually on a basketball court (Warriors fan, don't hold it against me), behind a golf ball that won't cooperate, or playing guitar and saxophone badly on purpose.
