Born and raised in the smallest state in the country, I attended the University of Rhode Island originally focused on engineering. After switching briefly into mathematics and then ultimately finance, I craved a change of scenery as well and after hearing so many awesome Colorado stories from my parents growing up, I enrolled in a 1-year exchange program at Fort Lewis College in Durango. It didn鈥檛 take long for me to realize it was only a matter of time until I moved here. I graduated from URI in 2017 with a B.S. in Finance and after a few years working for a local financial planning firm and then a small financial services firm as an FP&A Analyst, finally made the move to Denver towards the end of 2020. In seemingly typical Colorado fashion, my days off are mostly spent doing anything outdoors...skiing, hiking, basketball, climbing, mountain biking, and anything water related (I鈥檒l admit I miss the ocean a little bit).
