I have managed investment portfolios as a primary occupation since 2009, as well as overseeing my personal portfolio since 1996. I founded Magnifina to share my passion for investments with others, particularly those who had traditionally been overlooked by the finance industry. Prior to Magnifina, I co-managed Bloomsbury Partners, a private investment company, and grew its assets to over $25 million. Before that, I was an Assistant Vice President on the foreign exchange trading desk at HSBC. I hold a Master’s Degree in Economics from Queen Mary University of London, and a Bachelor’s Degree from Ithaca College, where I double majored in English Literature and Economics. Raised in Seattle, I am also an avid skier and sail regularly from North Cove in lower Manhattan.
