I was born in the United States and grew up in Mexico to Indian parents, an upbringing that gave me an early appreciation for different cultures, countries, and perspectives. I later completed my undergraduate degree in Economics in England, where studying abroad and traveling further shaped the way I think about global affairs. I also completed a Master’s in Finance at the University of Southern California and currently work as a Valuations Analyst at Lincoln International, a middle-market investment bank, where I primarily focus on valuing private companies.
