My passion for finance developed at a young age through the desire to help my parents achieve financial stability for their retirement. From managing retirement accounts to acquiring rental properties with my father, my initiative has always been to learn what they couldn’t and assist them in any way possible.
Today, this initiative has evolved into a broader mission: to help as many people as possible. This passion led me to establish Gold Crown Investing, where I aim to provide valuable market updates and research tailored specifically for the youth and individuals outside of the finance field. Our goal is to build credibility and grow Gold Crown Investing into a reputable company that one day offers paid research for financial professionals while continuing to provide free resources for those new to investing.
Currently, I am a rising junior at The Ohio State University, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a specialization in Finance at the Fisher College of Business. I am also honored to be part of the Finance Honors Program, which recognizes the top 30 finance students at OSU. Choosing Ohio State was an easy decision for me, as I grew up a Buckeye, and leaving my family and friends would mean losing the support system that has shaped who I am today.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I am actively involved in clubs such as Buckeye Ventures (venture Capital & Private Equity Club), Common Cents Investing, and mentor-mentee programs, which allow me to collaborate with peers and learn from experienced professionals in the field. My work ethic, determination, and aspirations are inspired by my parents and sisters, who have overcome numerous challenges to achieve their goals. I hope to follow in their footsteps throughout my journey, making them proud along the way. Outside of my academic and professional endeavors, I enjoy golfing, working out, and spending time with family and friends.
At Gold Crown Investing, we are committed to providing accessible financial knowledge and insights, empowering the next generation of investors and fostering a community where everyone can thrive.

My passion for finance began at 16 when I actively managed my custodial brokerage account, igniting my interest in portfolio management and market analysis. This early exposure reinforced my belief in the power of a strong financial foundation to create long-term security and success. It also inspired me to help others gain the knowledge and confidence to navigate the markets.
This passion led me to co-found Gold Crown Investing, a platform dedicated to making finance more accessible. Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex financial concepts and everyday investors by providing market research, simplifying investment strategies, and equipping individuals with the tools to make informed financial decisions. As we continue to build credibility, our goal is to grow into a trusted resource, offering both free financial education for beginners and premium research services for professionals.
I am currently a junior at The Ohio State University, majoring in Finance and Economics within the selective Finance Honors Cohort. This program has refined my analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in investment research and financial modeling. Through my coursework and professional experiences, I have worked extensively with financial reporting, data management, and process optimization—helping companies improve efficiency and accuracy in financial operations.
Beyond academics and professional development, I stay engaged in investment-focused initiatives, continuously analyzing market movements and discussing financial strategies. I also take on leadership roles within various organizations, contributing to financial management, event coordination, and overall development efforts. Outside of finance, I enjoy weightlifting and golf, which provide balance and discipline alongside my other responsibilities.
Looking ahead, I am eager to deepen my expertise in financial markets and investment analysis. Co-founding Gold Crown Investing has allowed me to channel my passion for finance into a meaningful platform that empowers individuals with knowledge and confidence in investing.

Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, attending Ohio State football games was a cherished tradition that instilled in me a deep connection to the Buckeye community.
