I am a driven student pursuing Economics and Management at the University of Oxford, one of the most competitive programs at this world leading institution. With a strong passion for financial services, asset management, and private equity, I thrive at the intersection of strategic investment and innovation.My work in Private Equity and Investment Banking has taken me from London to Sydney, helping companies with strategic M&A, and driving strong returns in funds covering equities, private credit, real estate and insurance.Beyond this, I am an entrepreneur, having founded and managed a successful tutoring business in Sydney, where I developed key skills in financial forecasting, operational management, and leadership. I also have a deep interest in software development, building web applications including Tracker.sg, and machine learning tools to enhance portfolio analysis and investment strategies for hedge funds and private equity. As a Partner at Oxford Alpha Fund, I\'ve used these skills to run the society admin and improve recruiting processes through custom-built applications.I am also committed to leadership and community service, volunteering with the Avalon Beach Surf Lifesaving Club in Sydney for over five years. A dedicated martial artist and surfer, I value discipline, resilience, and teamwork - qualities that shape both my personal and professional endeavours.I am happy to connect with like-minded individuals in finance and entrepreneurship who want to build a better world.
