I have had an interest in finance for as long as I can remember because I think it’s a fascinating way to learn about the world and global events. I started out in an investment club at my school where we met every Sunday. We made a class portfolio and it has been so interesting to watch how the investments have grown since 9th grade. I have also learned how to manage an investment portfolio by taking summer courses at Columbia University in the School of Professional Studies. We analyzed various investment opportunities such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, cryptocurrency, real estate, futures, and options. I also completed the Acumen Academy Financial Statements 101 Course and the TJR Trades 60-day Trading Course.

I also interned at the Black Salmon Real Estate Firm in Coral Gables, FL. I created a market assessment on an up-and-coming neighborhood located in Miami, Fl in order to encourage investors to provide capital and generate a profitable long-term development project in the area.
