Academics
Wharton Product Design Academy
In July of 2024 I attended the three week long Wharton Business School Product Design Academy, where I brainstormed, prototyped, and created a product, as well as learning the Design Thinking process and furthering my skills in CAD and fabrication technologies. This amazing program taught me many things about designing products and being an entrepreneur, as well as allowing me to collaborate with peers from around the globe, many of whom I now consider friends.

My group created a product called the EchoRest, a pillow that is meant to help people fall asleep easier. It includes massaging, an ergonomic headrest, and speakers to play relaxing sounds/ music.
Young Investors Society Global Stock Pitch Competition
From the beginning to middle of 2024 , I created an extensive stock pitch report as a part of the YIS Stock Pitch Competition. We were instructed to create a stock pitch on a public stock of our choosing; I chose Costco Wholesale. After the intial report was submitted, I was lucky enough to be one of the top 100 contestants out of 1500+ that was invited to NYC for the finals. I placed top 20 at the finals and was invited to an exclusive gala where I had to opportunity of connecting and networking with employees at top-tier firms like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc.

My recommendation for my stock of choice - Costco Wholesale - was to buy, which proved to be successful, as it has gone up 40% since my report creation.

In July 2023 I completed a high school finance program at NYU. The program covered many different types of investments and strategies.
