Class of 2027
Pronouns: He/Him
Currently Studying: Bachelor of Science in Business Economics with a Minor in Finance
Why did you choose ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø and the Lubin School of Business for your minor?
Growing up, I always envisioned myself working on Wall Street. ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø’s location in the heart of downtown Manhattan—just steps from the New York Stock Exchange—made it the perfect choice. The University’s strong ties to the financial industry and its deep-rooted presence in the city’s business landscape made it the ideal place to study finance and launch my career.
As one of the youngest interns at the New York Stock Exchange, how has this experience shaped your career goals?
I’ve been interested in financial markets since middle school, but joining the New York Stock Exchange helped me grow even more—both personally and professionally. It’s been a strong start to my trading career. I receive valuable advice from my colleagues every day and continue to learn something new at the Exchange, which I know will help me become a great trader in the future.
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 Research—an 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 isn’t 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 don’t need to be talented; you need to be obsessed with winning. Obsession always beats talent.
You recently helped initiate a potential academic partnership between ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø and the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) Association. What sparked this initiative, and what do you hope it brings to fellow students?
While working on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, I connected with a board member of the CMT Association, who introduced me to the CEO. I then helped connect our dean with the CMT’s leadership. I believe this partnership has great potential—it can help fellow students prepare for the CMT exam and enhance their careers. I also think ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø and the CMT Association can collaborate on research that contributes meaningfully to the trading industry.
What has it been like preparing for financial trading exams at such a young age, and what motivated you to pursue them so early in your career?
Preparing for these exams while attending university and working at the NYSE was incredibly stressful and demanding. But I believe pressure is a privilege—it 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.
What has been your favorite opportunity at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø?
I’ve really benefited from our networking and advising events, where I’ve had the chance to meet industry professionals and learn directly from them. I think our alumni network at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø is very strong, and it’s been great connecting with successful graduates and gaining their insight.
How has Lubin supported or enhanced your professional development so far—whether through coursework, faculty, or networking?
Lubin has had a tremendous impact on me. What stands out most is the experience of the faculty—they didn’t just teach from books, they coached me through interviews, real-world scenarios, and how to handle high-pressure situations. Access to seasoned Wall Street professionals who visit campus and share real advice is something truly unique to Lubin.
What does #LubinLife mean to you?
To me, #LubinLife means excelling both inside and outside the classroom, sharpening my competitive edge, growing personally and professionally, making my family proud, and—most importantly—winning.
Do you have any advice for other Lubin students?
To become successful, you don’t need to be talented; you need to be obsessed with winning. Obsession always beats talent.
