Profile

I'm a second generation Greek-American, and the first in my family to graduate from college. I achieved a B.B.A. in Finance from the university of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, and am currently pursuing a Masters in Finance (M.L.A. Finance) from Harvard University. My passions are business (especially FinTech), entrepreneurship, and innovation. Beyond that, I'm also an avid software developer- certified in full-stack development from Harvard as well as Python for investment fundamentals and data analysis from Udemy. I enjoy reading, exploring new places, and trying new restaurants around town.
