About me

From engineering to equity research

I started university in civil engineering and spent four years in it, with internships at PCL Construction, Pennecon and the Canadian Coast Guard. Somewhere along the way I got hooked on investing, and in 2025 I switched to the Bachelor of Commerce in Finance to do it full time.

Engineering still shapes how I work. I like building from the ground up, so my models start from the drivers I can see, like plant capacity, mine output or contract backlog, and I want every number to tie back to something I can defend.

Today I'm a Sector Manager at The Fund, Memorial's student-managed fund, a Data Analyst on a private wealth team at RBC Dominion Securities, and a teaching assistant for Introduction to Finance. I also co-founded Commito, which helps businesses put AI to work on their everyday workflows.

After I graduate in April 2027, I want to start my career in equity research or investment banking.

Four brands (Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes, Firehouse Subs) and one royalty engine. Our thesis rested on the Burger King U.S. turnaround, capital-light international growth and the downside protection of a 95%-franchised model. This won the Atlantic Canada final of the CFA Institute Research Challenge and placed third at the Canadian sub-regional.
