My interest in finance stems from an early passion for math. Quantitative work was always appealing to me. As I started growing older, I learned more about finance that seemed to combine the love I had for numbers and human interaction. I exposed myself to finance related classes such as Economics and began to participate in finance related activities such as Euro Challenge and Econ Challenge. I became engrossed with Forbes articles and reading up on the rise of big business.

I began considering finance as a career when my father decided to try his luck at the stock market. I particularly remember researching companies to suggest to him. Though I was 16 years old at the time, I started learning about the Chinese petroleum business and other niche companies. I loved the risk taking aspect and the thrill of picking the right stock. I fell in love with finance and decided to pursue a career in finance.

Through Ross Portfolio Management, I hope to gain more exposure to the markets as a whole. I hope to learn standard investing procedures. Ross Portfolio Management seems to value learning and growth that I treasure. I also hope to gain a group of peers that are interested in the same topics as myself. I think that the experience of previous Ross Portfolio Management is invaluable to someone like me. Moreover, the culture of the club seemed very open and close so I also hope to make friends through Ross Portfolio Management.

I come from a largely science background having been pre-med for a large part of my freshmen year. This science background allows me to consider things from an experimental perspective, something which has proven to be effective when it comes to the market. I also possess a large entrepreneurial spirit which means I could play a large part in internal managerial roles that Ross Portfolio Management has. I hope that as I progress and gain experience, I can impart that onto new members that will join Ross Portfolio Management in the future.
