Summary

As a detail-oriented and insight-driven individual, I’m passionate about uncovering economic patterns and market themes that shape global decisions. Through my consulting work at IBM, I developed the ability to distil complex qualitative data and translate it into actionable strategies, particularly in analytics and trading contexts. I value integrity and intellectual curiosity—qualities that position me well to contribute to Goldman Sachs’ rigorous approach to macroeconomic and financial research.
