Finance student. Insurance professional. Hands-on builder. I care about how markets work, and I care just as much about being useful to the people around me.
I’ve overcome a lot to get here. That perspective shapes how I learn, how I work, and how I show up for other people.
As a junior at California State University, Northridge, I’m majoring in Finance with a concentration in Financial Planning. I’m working toward CFP® certification because I want to understand the full picture and explain it in plain English.
My active California Life & Health insurance license gave me a foundation in protection and responsibility. Home staging with RL Estate adds a different kind of experience. It is physical, detailed work, and you can see immediately whether the finished room feels right.
I move between code, spreadsheets, technological systems, physical projects, and team environments without needing to fit into one narrow lane. That range helps me connect ideas, adapt quickly, and contribute in ways that aren’t always obvious from a job title.
“I don’t want to be known for just one thing. I want to keep getting better at whatever the work asks of me.”
A financial plan is a network of decisions. The same is true of my path into this field. Rotate the model and select any point to see how it fits.
Different problems ask for different strengths. Explore five sides of how I work, from logical systems to physical execution.
Through 70+ CS50P coursework files, I’ve built a working foundation in Python: breaking problems into smaller parts, testing ideas, and learning to think with more precision. Coding sharpened the same structured mindset I bring to finance.
I’m preparing for the Securities Industry Essentials exam as another step toward a career in finance. The aim isn’t just to pass. I want to understand the market well enough to use what I learn.
Ask the extra question. Learn the mechanism behind the answer. Keep improving instead of protecting what I already know.
Group projects work best when communication is clear, ownership is real, and every person’s strengths have room to matter.
From a staged room to a clean spreadsheet, the final details are what turn effort into work people can trust.
If you value curiosity, range, and a genuine willingness to do the work, I’d be glad to connect.
