Summary

As a second-year undergraduate at the University of Sydney, I am ardently pursuing a double major in Finance and Data Science. I have a solid background in quantitative analysis, statistical modelling, and financial concepts, and I've polished my abilities through academic projects by sifting through complex datasets to get useful insights. I'm keen to apply my theoretical knowledge to actual real-world difficulties and am proficient in Python and R. My cosmopolitan upbringing in Sydney has given me the ability to speak Mandarin and English with ease as well as a basic comprehension of Korean and Japanese. I believe this linguistic versatility, coupled with my diversified part-time experiences during my senior year of high school and freshman year of college, uniquely qualifies me to participate in client-centric data processes at EY.
