A LITTLE ABOUT ME
A builder of perspective.
My interests sit at the intersection of economics, strategy, and communication. At EY China, I researched the home-appliance industry and helped clients think through growth and site-planning decisions. At school, I explore sustainable development and business models through academic research.
Outside the classroom, I founded and captained a football team. That experience taught me how to create momentum, bring people together, and turn a plan into something real.
