My interest in finance began at age 10 when I started managing my own portfolio of securities. Since then, I have continued to grow my finance knowledge in every aspect possible. After completing my undergraduate at The University of Kentucky where I double majored in accounting and finance, I decided to pursue my master's in finance which led me to IU. Throughout my years of study and personal interest, the area that has continued to excite me is Private Equity. As I progress through my final year of my collegiate career, I am looking forward to learning how finance and private equity can continue to add value to the world and all its people.
