About
I’m Emilio. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, driven by a mix of ambition and curiosity. I love sports, I’m into business, and I’m always thinking about how to grow, compete, and win in whatever I’m doing. Education matters to me because it’s a tool, not just a goal. I care about doing things right, building genuine opportunities, especially between the U.S. and Mexico, and continually improving every step of the way.

I plan to pursue a career in investment banking, with a focus on financial analysis, deal structuring, and advising companies on mergers, acquisitions, and capital raising. I am interested in working in a fast-paced, competitive environment where strategy, discipline, and performance matter.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in pursuing an MBA or a related graduate program in finance or business after gaining professional experience, to strengthen my leadership, analytical, and strategic skills.

I enjoy playing volleyball, reading, and exercising regularly. I also like exploring and trying different types of cuisine, as I’m interested in learning about different cultures through food.
