Summary

Penultimate-year Applied Mathematics student at the University of Edinburgh, with a strong interest in financial mathematics, actuarial science and applications of probability and statistics in economics, finance and econometrics. I enjoy working with quantitative methods to understand complex problems, particularly drawn to the intersection of mathematics, finance and data.

Curious, motivated and detail-oriented, I am always looking for opportunities to expand my knowledge and engage with new ideas and opportunities.
