During my studies at the University of Riverside, CA, I developed a deep passion for finance, which led me to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Manitoba.  After four years of rigorous study, I have completed three papers across various finance areas and am now prepared to seek a position in academia. I am confident that my enthusiasm for research and my enjoyment of teaching will support my goal of securing an academic position in the near future.  

In my spare time, I love to cook at home, exploring new recipes and experimenting with different cuisines. Cooking allows me to unwind and express my creativity in the kitchen. Additionally, I have a passion for traveling around the world, which broadens my perspective and enriches my experiences. Each destination offers a unique cultural experience and culinary delight, which complements my love for cooking and learning about diverse food traditions.
