Biography

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I majored in Financial Mathematics and Statistics. I followed up by completing my first Master's degree at Columbia University, where my first Master's degree was in Statistics. I am very interested in cross-subject study. And I am looking forward to learning and researching more interesting things at Brown. I actually went to high school not far from Rhode Island, I finished my high school in Cape Cod and I am grateful to be back in New England area.

In my free time, I like to try different things. I love to travel and this year I'm trying to see different national parks of the United States. I also enjoy playing sports, I like golf, tennis, pilates, and more. I enjoy spending time with my friends, but I'm really bad at cooking. So I am looking forward to discovering wonderful restaurants around Brown and to try that all with friends.
