My interest in investing and financial modeling was ignited over a decade ago during my time at UCSD, where I had the incredible opportunity to intern at a private equity firm. It was during this internship that I became enamored with investment modeling. The intricate process of assessing and predicting financial performance to guide strategic decision-making fascinated me, and I was drawn to the critical thinking, analysis, and strategic foresight that it required.

Post my internship, I dove into the world of investing. Over the past 11 years, I've been actively involved in stock market investing, an experience that has helped me gain valuable insights into market dynamics, trends, and the art of making informed investment decisions. Parallelly, I have spent my entire career in corporate strategy. This has offered me a unique perspective on business operations and strategic planning, making me well-versed in identifying companies with strong fundamentals and great growth potential.

In essence, my experiences in corporate strategy, equity investing, and investment modeling have collectively shaped my understanding and approach to investing. They have allowed me to combine theoretical knowledge with practical insights, making me a well-rounded professional in this field.

Growth for sure. As a growth stock investor, I focus on companies that demonstrate above-average growth potential, often in sectors with multiple tailwinds.
