As a student, my career exploration took me through diverse fields before I found my passion for economics at the Zicklin School of Business. While studying Law at Brooklyn Technical, I discovered economist Tyler Cowen’s blog, which fascinated me with its application of economic principles to real-world phenomena. Economics became less abstract and more relevant as I explored income inequality, the business cycle, and government policies impact on the economy.
Although I initially pursued physics and chemistry at SUNY New Paltz, my interest in economics persisted. I seized an internship opportunity in finance, gaining practical experience analyzing financial data and market trends. I researched Defi, Stablecoins, Blockchain, Delegating/Validating, and Cryptocurrency market news.
The complex interplay between markets, institutions, and policy further captivated me, leading me to pursue an economics degree at the Zicklin School of Business. Here, I learn from prominent economists, developing critical analytical skills through courses in econometrics, financial modeling, and macroeconomic theory.
As I delved deeper into economics, topics like game theory, international trade, and financial markets expanded my knowledge and fueled my passion. Economics revealed its interdisciplinary nature, applicable to law, public policy, and psychology.
My unique journey has ultimately driven me to pursue a career in economics. I embrace this field’s opportunities and am eager to make a positive impact using my knowledge. With continued learning and growth, I hope to contribute to a better world through my work as an economist.
