A Bit About Myself..

What am I doing in Australia?

I'll be studying for my Masters in International Business at the University of Queensland, starting February 2005, in Brisbane, Australia. I'll also be a representative of Rotary International, as an Ambassadorial Scholar.

I plan to be involved in the community as well as active in athletics- two things I have been very engaged in here in Dallas. With my involvement with the Greater Dallas Asian American Chamber of Commerce (I was a part of the alpha class of their leadership program), as a board member of non-profit Dallas Reads, and through organizing events that have raised over $10,000 for Leukeumia, I hope to continue my service to the community in Australia.

Similarly, I plan to participate in triathlons and marathons while in Australia (and even possibly competing in Ironman Australia or Ironman New Zealand in 2006).

About me:

Childhood: I grew up in Cupertino, California --in the heart of Silicon Valley. I attended Monta Vista High School and graduated in 1996.

 

Education: I attended college at Rice University in Houston, Texas, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a Bachelor of Arts in Managerial Studies in 2000.

 

Work Experience: After graduation, I worked as a corporate finance investment banking financial analyst in Little Rock, Arkansas for Stephens Inc., a private investment bank. I was transferred to Dallas, Texas one year later, where I continued to work in the i-banking industry.

 

Following my two-year analyst program at Stephens, I joined JPMorganChase as an equity research associate for the Oil Services and Equipment team in Dallas.

 

After 2.5 years at JPMorgan, I am embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime journey as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar.
