UC Santa Cruz's student investment organization since 2016. I'm Co-President and CFO, and I co-founded the club's 501(c)(3) nonprofit: we incorporated with the State of California, received our tax-exempt status from the IRS, opened the club's bank account, and raised $700 in seed donations.
I also teach the club's weekly value-investing sessions on stock and bond analysis, and I led our partnership with the CFA Society.
My approach to investing is inspired by Benjamin Graham, and I'm reading The Intelligent Investor.

The full write-up behind the club's position: what broke in the Americas and China, why a price of about 10x trough earnings assumes permanent decline, the new CEO's contract, the founder's standstill, divorce and share hedges, the legal and tax exposures, and bear, base and bull cases from $70 to $200.

The 20-slide deep dive I presented to the club: what broke, how LULU stacks up against its rivals, bear, base and bull scenarios, and the club's vote on the position.
We work to get our members the training, certifications, and industry contact that students in bigger finance programs take for granted, and we make all of it free to use.
Slug Fund Investment Group is an approved partner of the CFA Society. It gives members a path to professional credentials and connects them with charterholders, exam resources, and industry events.
A UC-wide program that helps students explore careers in asset management, with training that mirrors an analyst's first year at an investment firm. Through SFIG, students get it completely free.
Founders and fund managers from Y Combinator, UC Investments, and Hummingbot, plus alumni across banking, venture, and quantitative finance.
I designed and built our club's public site end to end, including the leadership roster, publications, and a donor scheduling page.
