About

Curious about how markets move and why people make the decisions they do. Drawn to finance through hands-on experience in futures and proprietary trading, where discipline, patience, and clear thinking matter as much as numbers.

Outside the markets, life is shaped by community. Coaching young cyclists, volunteering with children in need through the Albanian Church, and performing traditional Albanian dances at City Hall all reflect the same values: responsibility, respect, and showing up for others.

Looking ahead to studying finance and economics at the university level, with the goal of building a career that combines analytical rigor with real impact.
