Vision

Where I'm Going.

Fund management, then a vineyard. The path between those two things is exactly as deliberate as it sounds.

Where I'm applying

  • Cal Poly SLO Business Economics + Data Analytics Strong applied-learning culture. You build things here, you don't just study them.
  • UC Davis Business Economics + Viticulture & Enology minor The only school where the finance track and the vineyard track live in the same building.
  • UC Berkeley Business / Haas + Data Analytics Haas is one of the best direct pipelines into finance in the country. The ceiling is worth shooting for.

The arc

  1. Near term College

    Business Economics major with a Data Analytics focus. A Viticulture & Enology or Film/Production minor if the schedule allows. Both are part of the larger picture.

  2. Early career BlackRock internship

    I have a family connection that opens the door. What I bring through it is seven years of self-directed market study, a real portfolio, and a framework I've actually tested.

  3. Building Data analyst → senior analyst

    Learn how institutional capital moves at scale. Build the quantitative depth and pattern recognition that fund management actually requires, not just the title.

  4. The goal Fund manager

    Capital allocation at scale, with full conviction behind every position. That's the thing I've been working toward since I was ten years old.

  5. The endgame The vineyard

    Where the two worlds finally meet. The same patience it takes to hold a position through volatility is the patience it takes to wait for a vintage. I want to build something that outlasts a career.
