Most people watched the 2022 World Cup on TV—but I spent 30+ days in Qatar, fully immersed in the energy, culture, and behind-the-scenes chaos of the biggest sporting event on the planet. That experience completely changed the way I look at global business, finance, and strategy. 

Since then, my passion has centered around financial strategy, the stock market, event planning, and music. Over the past three summers, I’ve put these interests into practice as a finance intern for a nonprofit, where I managed a $2 million budget and contributed to strategic decision-making. Beyond finance, I’m deeply committed to community impact—I’ve served as an AmeriCorps site manager for three terms, leading initiatives to support impoverished communities.
