Why did you choose Daniels:

I chose Daniels because it represents the perfect intersection of rigor, opportunity and community. As someone deeply passionate about both finance and impact, the MSAQF program offers the technical depth I was seeking: quantitative modeling, coding and data analytics, while also providing access to real-world experience, mentorship and a strong professional network.

Previous Education

B.S. in business administration, with a concentration in finance from the  University of Colorado Boulder

Pre-Grad School Experience

Before graduate school, I worked full-time at Charles Schwab as a licensed financial broker. Additionally, I led humanitarian advocacy efforts focused on raising awareness, mobilizing resources and amplifying the voices of communities in Tigray, Ethiopia.

Post Grad School Goal

After completing my master’s, I hope to break into Wall Street to immerse myself in the world of investment banking or asset management to learn from the best, sharpen my technical expertise and gain a deep understanding of how capital truly moves. My long-term goal is to use that knowledge to help bridge the gap between finance and impact, building or contributing to a movement that redefines how financial power can drive meaningful global change.

Hobbies

I love spending time with my family. They’re my best friends and my favorite people in the world. When I’m not running around with them, you can usually find me reading, writing or dancing to my favorite songs.
