Currently
I am a junior at Florida State University pursuing a double major in Economics and Computer Science.
I have previous internship experience in startup growth, trading, and AI automation. On campus, I've pursued machine learning research and tutored student athletes in math, programming, and economics classes.
Some of my interests include boxing, music creation, and the Rubik's Cube.
