Curiosity meets
analytical thinking.

I’m interested in how businesses create value — and how thoughtful analysis can turn financial and market information into a clear investment view.

My experience spans financial risk management at KPMG, investment analysis at Esterad Investment Company and venture research with the McMaster Venture Capital Club. Alongside my coursework, these experiences have shaped my approach to financial modelling, company analysis and market research.
