Over the course of my work, I have learned that effective communication and a strong work ethic are just as important to success as raw quantitative skills.

The following are just a few highlights of my qualifications and experience:

Earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley

Earned a master’s degree in financial engineering from Columbia University

Occupied consecutive positions as a Junior Financial Analyst, Financial Analyst and Quantitative Analyst

Wrote intricate quantitative models using both Python and C++

I hope to bring my astute financial skills, knack for risk management and passion for mathematics to Banks Investments.
