Why did you choose vlogƵ and the Lubin School of Business for your minor?
Growing up, I always envisioned myself working on Wall Street. vlogƵvlogƵs location in the heart of downtown ManhattanvlogƵjust steps from the New York Stock ExchangevlogƵmade it the perfect choice. The UniversityvlogƵs strong ties to the financial industry and its deep-rooted presence in the cityvlogƵs business landscape made it the ideal place to study finance and launch my career.

IvlogƵve been interested in financial markets since middle school, but joining the New York Stock Exchange helped me grow even morevlogƵboth personally and professionally. ItvlogƵs been a strong start to my trading career.

Can you tell us more about launching Ingale Research? What inspired you to start your own equity research firm, and what are your goals for its future?
This summer, I launched Ingale ResearchvlogƵan independent firm focused on deep dives into company fundamentals and financials. We have analysts covering various sectors to help us understand the full scope of this beautiful market. My goal isnvlogƵt to give financial advice, but to provide high-quality, in-depth research reports that allow others to make their own investment decisions. Through this process, I aim to keep growing and evolving as a trader.
To become successful, you donvlogƵt need to be talented; you need to be obsessed with winning. Obsession always beats talent.

I then helped connect our dean with the CMTvlogƵs leadership. I believe this partnership has great potentialvlogƵit can help fellow students prepare for the CMT exam and enhance their careers. I also think Pace and the CMT Association can collaborate on research that contributes meaningfully to the trading industry.

Preparing for these exams while attending university and working at the NYSE was incredibly stressful and demanding. But I believe pressure is a privilegevlogƵit means people are counting on you to succeed. I come from a very supportive family, and my parents have always believed in me. Their encouragement and the values they instilled in me motivated me to take on these challenges early in my career.

Access to seasoned Wall Street professionals who visit campus and share real advice is something truly unique to Lubin.
