About
As an international student from Ecuador, I always strive to get out of my comfort zone and seek new opportunities and challenges. Through a continuous exploration of various areas of interest, I have discovered my passion for Financial and Statistical Analysis, which arises from a desire to assist business leaders in making more informed financial decisions through the use of data.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration-Finance at UF. As part of my future academic goals I wish to conduct statistical research as part of my Honor Thesis and upon graduation partake in a Masters Program in Finance.
Personal interests include reading science fiction and self-development books, playing classical piano music, and learning Rubik's cube algorithms.
