Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a Junior at Yale University in Silliman College (the biggest and best) majoring in Economics with a minor in Energy Studies. I am from White Plains, NY, where I have lived my entire life. I have one younger brother who will be attending Yale next year. I hope to go into the field of renewable energy project finance and to spend my career trying to leverage the resources of the financial world to combat climate change and turbocharge the renewable energy transition. I am a firm believer in pragmatism and believe that approaching the challenge of climate change from a financial perspective will be vital, as we will only achieve the level of investment in clean technology to reach the goals of the Paris climate accords if we show the private sector how these investments can be the financial opportunity of a generation.
