Accounting, economics, and finance are technical disciplines that demand technical precision — in the numbers and in the writing. After eight years in investment banking and 1,073 academic papers, I deliver both.

I hold an MBA from Wharton and a BS in Economics and Finance from the University of Michigan, where my research focused on corporate valuation and macroeconomic policy. At a New York investment bank I spent nearly a decade building financial models, writing equity research reports, and translating complex quantitative analysis into prose that senior partners and clients could act on. That environment has zero tolerance for vagueness, every claim needs a number behind it, every conclusion needs a methodology that holds up, and every sentence needs to earn its place on the page.

That discipline is what I bring to every paper I write. Financial analyses, case studies, research papers, literature reviews, econometric reports, policy briefs, I've covered every format these disciplines require, from freshman coursework to MBA-level research. The rigor doesn't change based on the level, only the depth.
