My journey into the world of Finance and Data Science began in college, when I realized my passion for numbers and the power of data in driving decisions. The structured problem-solving aspect of finance intrigued me, but I also wanted to dive deeper into data analysis to uncover insights that could change outcomes. That’s why I decided to pursue a double major in Finance and Data Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This combination allows me to apply both analytical and strategic thinking, making it the perfect field for someone like me who enjoys blending logic with data-driven innovation.
