Fun Fact
I use to live in Vancouver, Canada for the 2010 Olympic Games and had the opportunity to travel to Beijing, China for the 2008 Olympic Games as well. I've developed my passion for global markets due to my exposure to real world business at a very young age
Passion
I've had a passion for capital markets, global trade and what drives the world since a very young age. I've always known I wanted to work at the heart of innovation and change and build a career on Wall Street. I follow political risk very closely and how this impacts markets globally
