Describe your college experience

Coming into college I was nervous given I had no idea what was to come. To my surprise I made friends day one that I to this day still talk to. I found a fraternity and group of lifelong friends in one semester. And I have excelled academically, socially, and physically. These have been the best 3 and half years of my life, I am bittersweet to have one more semester!

Tip for future students

The first day, yes the first day, go around your dorm and introduce yourself to everyone. Everyone is scared, shy, and nervous the first day. You never know who you will meet and you may make your own and others days!

Favorite class

My favorite class has been Equities. This was the most challenging class I took at Villanova, I would say I spent 10 hours a week outside of class working on projects and homework for this class. However, it taught me the basics of financial modeling, the structure of the equity markets, and fundamentals needed in any financial career.

Career goals

I am getting into Ultra High Net Worth Wealth Management at BBR Partners post graduation.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Honestly, it depends on the day. It could be going out to the bars with my friends, having a night in with my friends, or going on a date with my girlfriend.
