FINANCE & ECONOMICS
My interest in finance and economics began long before I ever studied them formally. At home, the stock market was a familiar guest at our dinner table. My parents, both stock traders, often discussed market swings, company news, and investment strategies over meals, and I found myself listening intently even when I didn’t understand every word. What started as background conversation gradually sparked my curiosity—why do markets rise and fall, and how do these movements affect people’s lives?
As I grew older, I began to connect these questions with my love for mathematics. Mathematics gave me the tools to see patterns in markets, analyze risks, and approach financial questions with rigor. But I also realized that finance and economics are not only about numbers, but also about human behavior, decision-making, and the systems that shape society. This blend of logical structure and real-world impact fascinated me, and I started to dive deeper—reading books, exploring ideas, and asking more questions than my parents sometimes had the patience to answer.
Eventually, this passion grew into action. Inspired to share what I was learning, I launched initiatives to help other students see the importance of finance and economics, especially those who might not yet have been exposed to the subject. From financial literacy projects to workshops simulating stock markets, I discovered the joy of teaching and the power of making complex ideas approachable.
In this section, you can explore some of the projects and activities that have shaped my journey in finance and economics—and, I hope, see how this field has become both a personal passion and a way to empower others.
