Summary

A current student at the University of East London pursuing a Bs(Hons) in Economics, my academic journey has been diverse and enriching. Previously, I studied Psychology and Business Administration at Northeastern University in the USA, but wanted to continue my education in the UK. This multidisciplinary background offers a well-rounded perspective combining insights into human behavior with strategic business knowledge. Graduating from Holy Innocents Episcopal School, I established a strong academic foundation and a deep commitment to community service.
