Profile &
Skills

I'm a Finance student at UC Riverside targeting investment banking and capital markets roles at top-tier financial institutions. My experience spans nonprofit financial oversight, institutional investment programs, student government capital management, and real estate finance.

I've overseen $350,000+ in organizational capital, completed portfolio construction training with BlackRock's Aladdin platform, and placed 2nd at the JLL Capital Markets Cup. I'm driven by the intersection of financial rigor and community impact.

As a Korean-American who immigrated at 13 and earned the IB Diploma, I bring cross-cultural fluency and firsthand perspective on access and equity to every financial role I hold.
