About Me!

Hi! I am an Honors College student at Lone Star College–CyFair with academic interests spanning government, law, economics, and finance. I am especially interested in the point where these fields intersect: how laws influence markets, how economic incentives shape political decisions, and how institutions respond when existing systems no longer adequately serve the public.

At Lone Star College, I have been able to explore these questions through undergraduate research. In Capitol Advantage: The Market Impact of Congressional Insider Trading, I examined how members of Congress can benefit from informational advantages in financial markets, analyzed weaknesses within the STOCK Act, and proposed mandatory blind trusts as a potential reform. My research has also taken me beyond the United States. In From Protest to Participation, I studied Japan's Lost Decade and explored why the economic turmoil of the 1990s did not produce the large-scale protest movements seen in other democracies, ultimately examining how Japanese political activism shifted toward more localized and nonviolent forms of participation.

My interests extend beyond research and into leadership and service. As Treasurer of Lone Star College's Investment Club, I have gained practical experience managing financial responsibilities while engaging with other students interested in markets and investing. Through the Honors College Leadership Program, I have also worked on financial education initiatives designed to make concepts such as budgeting, saving, and investing more approachable to students. These experiences have shown me that my interests in finance and public policy are not separate; they are different ways of understanding how decisions, incentives, and institutions affect people's lives.

As I continue my education, I want to build on this interdisciplinary foundation and further explore the relationship between law, government, financial markets, and public policy. Whether I am analyzing a piece of legislation, studying a financial market, or researching a political institution, I am most interested in asking why a system works the way it does, who it affects, and how it can be improved.

Looking ahead to the 2026–2027 academic year, I hope to extend this interdisciplinary approach into my Biology Honors coursework by researching soil sampling and its connection to agricultural commodity markets. Through this project, I want to explore how biological factors such as soil conditions and agricultural productivity can connect to commodity supply, market behavior, and broader economic trends.
