Summary

I am a 2024 graduate from Columbia University (NYC). Having earned a basketball scholarship, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in psychology and a concentration in economics. While most of my summers and free time were dedicated to basketball, I also volunteered in the community, organizing a fundraiser in NYC for youth sports in Ghana. In school, I developed a keen interest for Finance, and I am looking towards developing this skill set via a role as an investment analyst.
