Economics, Discipline, Curiosity

“You do not rise to the occasion; you sink to the level of your training.” -Archilochus

My Story
I am a senior at the University of South Florida pursuing a B.A. in Economics, with plans to continue my education by earning either a Master’s in Finance or a CFA certification. While I approach the world through an economic lens, I am not limited by it – I enjoy exploring ideas across many disciplines.
Outside the classroom, I spend my time analyzing Formula 1 and college football data, writing academic papers, tackling DIY projects and maintaining my lifestyle through fitness and nutrition. Those who know mye often describe me as a strong communicator who excels at breaking down complex topics into everyday language.
That skill has been sharpened over the past five years behind the bar – with a one-year hiatus in the sales industry – where I learned how to connect with people quickly, read situations intuitively and communicate with clarity and confidence. If you share a passion for economics, data or creative problem solving, I would love to connect!
