President
As the President of the Graduate Finance Management Council (GFMC) at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), it is my honor and privilege to lead an organization dedicated to enriching the academic and professional journeys of our finance community.
I have an undergraduate degree in Accounting and an MBA in Finance and Marketing. With over five years of experience in banking and wealth management across various roles, I have worked with some of the most prominent banking and financial services firms. As a GFMC benefactor, I gained essential insights and connections through its programs, such as Coffee Chat sessions and networking events, which inspired me to give back and contribute to the growth and success of this vibrant community.
As President, my goal is to help students grow their careers by promoting an inclusive environment that encourages diverse perspectives within the community. I believe in teamwork and am committed to partnering with our members, faculty, and industry partners to create a dynamic and supportive ecosystem. I aim to help GFMC students achieve their academic and professional goals through leveraging my experience and the GFMC team’s collective skills.
I encourage all finance students at UTD to actively engage in GFMC’s initiatives. Your involvement—whether through event participation, mentorship, or idea contributions—is critical to our collective success. Together, we can navigate the complexities of the financial landscape and achieve our shared goals.

Student Ambassador
The GFMC student organization is dedicated to connecting incoming Finance students at JSOM with accomplished alumni, providing essential guidance through both academic and professional landscapes. Since joining the MSF program in Fall 2023, I have first-hand experienced the benefits of GFMC's extensive support network, particularly through the impactful initiatives like the Alumni Roundtable, Excel Case Competition, and the Mentorship Program. I remember how navigating through the academic journey while focusing on extra-curricular activities and securing internship felt overwhelming but the guidance from the GFMC officers and coffee chat sessions arranged by the council made the transition much smoother. These resources have significantly contributed to my academic pursuits and helped build valuable connections with finance professionals. With my background in investment banking and as an active member of GFMC for two semesters, I am well-positioned to mentor both current and prospective finance students at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Treasurer & Social Media Manager
GFMC stands as an exemplary student organization committed to supporting the finance student population at UTD. As a Master’s in Finance student with a passion for valuation, corporate finance, and financial analysis, I transitioned into academia as an international student after several years of professional experience. Initially, this shift presented its challenges, but the steadfast guidance of GFMC officers, along with the program director’s mentorship, made the process seamless. Their support enabled me to quickly understand program requirements, campus resources, the internship application process, and the alumni network.
GFMC fosters an inclusive platform where students can expand their knowledge, hone their skills, and cultivate a sense of belonging within the financial industry. Drawing from my own experiences overcoming similar hurdles, I am committed to mentoring and empowering others in their academic and professional journeys.

General Secretary of GFMC
The Graduate Finance Management Club (GFMC) is a key organization at UTD, focused on supporting finance students and creating opportunities for growth and connection.

Through its events, workshops, and community, the organization helped me understand the program better, make use of campus resources, and build a clear path toward my career goals.
As the General Secretary of GFMC, I’m excited to continue this tradition of support and guidance.
