Q: What led you to volunteer for this program?
A: I wanted to volunteer for this program to give back, but it always turns out I receive more wisdom. Also, I believe mentorship is important, as the youth is the hope of our future.
Q: Why did you pursue a career in investment management?
A: As a teenager, I often bought $5 bikes and sold them for $100. Since then, I have been hooked. Investment management creates an opportunity to pursue financial security through efficient capital allocation.
