A little bit about me
I started my design journey at the age of 10, in Photoshop, creating logos and banners for small youtubers and businesses. Enrolling in a graphic design college course during my 10th-grade year solidified my passion for design.
At 16, I join Mastercard as a Product Designer Apprentice through an apprenticeship program named Careerwise. Since then, I've had the amazing opportunity to work on various projects, collaborate with great people, and ultimately improve the lives of others through design.
For me, every project is an opportunity to create a lasting impact, and my obsession fuels a relentless pursuit of excellence in design.

Finance
What started as naive stock trading in 2020 became a cherished and integral part of my life. Working at Mastercard and being around Fintech daily has only intensified my feelings about finance.
In October 2023, I joined the Baruch Wall Street Club as Vice President of Marketing and Design. Every Friday, I engage with a vibrant community of over 60+ active members discussing everything on finance alongside esteemed guest speakers from Wall Street. Simply put, I love talking, listening to, and being around finance.

Outreach activities
I love giving up my time to attend outreach events. Whether through speaking engagements, workshops, or mentorship programs, participating in events like those provides me with the opportunity to "spread the wealth" and help out others. Some of my experiences include:
Serving on a national apprenticeship council, influencing public policy
Speaking at numerous youth empowerment events at Mastercard
Representing my high school on multiple city-wide panels
Serving as a representative for my apprenticeship program at investor events
These rewarding experiences not only allow me to aid others but also express gratitude and acknowledge those who have helped me along the way.

Rugby
I began playing rugby in September 2022, and from the moment I stepped onto the field, it became my favorite sport (to play) almost instantly.
While my rugby career was short (Sep 2022 - August 2023), that time felt magical.
During this time, I played for an independent club, and together, we placed
4th in New York State. Simultaneously, playing for my high school team (who previously didn't make the playoffs) placed 2nd in New York City in a thriller championship game.
This sport taught me a lot about myself—so many things. However, the most profound lessons playing rugby taught me was the importance of staying resilient and to constantly push my limits.
