About

Student-athlete at Amherst College studying Political Science and Black Studies. A lot of my life is shaped by football, fitness, and the discipline that comes with both.

I'm especially passionate about financial literacy. Access to financial knowledge is uneven and that has real consequences. It affects the decisions people can make, the risks they take, and the opportunities they even know exist. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to make financial systems easier to understand and more accessible, especially for people who were not naturally exposed to them. That shows up in the things I build and the problems I choose to spend time on.

I like building and improving systems. I naturally pay attention to what feels slow, confusing, or unnecessarily complex and try to simplify it. Most of what I work on comes from that instinct to take something that feels difficult to navigate and make it more intuitive and useful.

Football and training influence how I approach everything else. They have taught me consistency, structure, and how to stay locked in even when things are difficult or repetitive. There is a level of discipline required to show up every day, improve incrementally, and trust the process even when results are not immediate. That mindset carries into how I learn, how I build, and how I handle challenges.

I care about growth, both personally and in the people around me. I want to keep putting myself in environments that push me, force me to adapt, and raise my standard. At a high level, I am focused on getting better, building things that matter, and creating access where it does not already exist.

AI as a Platform for Creative Access

A lot of creative people never get the chance to show what they can do. Not because they lack talent, but because they lack access to tools, technical skills, and the networks that put work in front of the right people. That gap has been consistent, and it has been especially visible for young Black and Brown creators.

AI, Finance, and the End of "Learning by Repetition"

A lot of early career roles in finance have always been built on repetition. Analysts spend hours building models, cleaning data, updating comps, and formatting decks. The work is not valuable because it is efficient. It is valuable because it forces exposure. Over time, that repetition is supposed to turn into intuition.
