I graduated from UCLA in 2017 with a B.A. in History and Russian Studies and I am currently studying for my CFP® through Boston University. I have always had a passion for personal finance and an affinity for abstract art, particularly futurism. I know this is an unconventional pairing, but I am determined to make it work. After navigating the museum world for a couple years, I discovered some exciting FinApps – Mint and Acorns – and I became enthralled by FinTech’s customer-centric concept of the future. I have since focused on optimizing my skill set for this exciting and dynamic industry.

I really want to be a part of a team that will revolutionize the manners and mediums by which consumers gain access to bespoke financial advice. I am confident the future will be a human-algorithm hybrid support system which automates repetitive administrative tasks, but retains the reassurance of human-human advice and interaction. Thanks to well designed data aggregator products, the data shared between advisors and their customers will be totally transparent and intuitive to utilize, navigate, and understand.

Additionally, I believe that there is massive potential to disrupt investment sectors that have traditionally been privately financed. I think there will be lots of exciting new products in the near future that will open previously private markets to the public –  individual investors with limited working capital.
