Tell us about an extraordinary project you are presently working on for school or for fun.

I am on a mission to spread financial literacy. This summer, I dedicated my time to researching various macroeconomic and microeconomic data using one of Lubin's Bloomberg Terminals, sharing insights through regular posts. I plan to continue this work even after graduation. Overall, I would like to help others gain financial awareness. You can have a look at the article I worked on this summer (PDF).

Why did you choose your degree program?

I am pursuing an MBA in Business Analytics because of its broad applicability. To be an effective leader, one must have a bird's eye view of the entire organization. Business Analytics equips me with the skills to analyze data, identify trends, and make informed decisions. Additionally, it provides a macro perspective on overall business operations, enabling me to understand and navigate complex challenges.

Are you a part of any clubs? If so, which?

As a member of the Finance Club, I've had the privilege of exploring numerous opportunities that have enriched my understanding of the real financial world. One highlight was meeting Bill Ackman at an event, where I had the chance to ask him questions directly, gaining valuable insights from his experience.

What are your career goals?

My goal is to build a fintech startup and develop products for index option writing. Additionally, I plan to raise $100 million by 2030 and take the company public by 2034.

What do you do in your free time when you're not interning or taking classes?

In my free time, I read about unique business models and do research on microcap companies using the Bloomberg Terminal.

Surround yourself with quality people and build a strong network. A good network is not just for job or internship references, but for meaningful conversations, exchanging ideas, and sharing cultures. Building these relationships enriches your personal and professional life in ways that go beyond monetary gain.

Do you have any advice for other Lubin students?

Surround yourself with quality people and build a strong network. A good network is not just for job or internship references, but for meaningful conversations, exchanging ideas, and sharing cultures. Building these relationships enriches your personal and professional life in ways that go beyond monetary gain. At the start, don't focus on earning money; instead, focus on investing in yourself and upskilling. In my life I have met quality people who have provided me with support, inspiration, and diverse perspectives that have shaped my journey.
