Engineering meets
business strategy.

Currently 20 years old, I have navigated a highly accelerated academic path. After graduating high school at 14, I immediately began my undergraduate studies in Finance at UT Dallas, followed by my current pursuit of a Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University (Expected May 2027).

By the time I complete my Master's at age 21, I will have bridged the gap between complex clinical engineering and high-level strategic finance. I am deeply interested in how rigorous financial modeling and market analysis can optimize decision-making within the medical device industry.

My background allows me to evaluate innovation through both a technical and commercial lens, ensuring that life-saving technologies are not only functional but also strategically viable.
