Private Wealth Analyst

Hello! A brief background on me as you can see I’ve been at Morgan Stanley for several years & also have exited a past venture. What my resume doesn’t show is 7 years of crypto experience personally as a user.

I have been in crypto & defi for some time now and have a deep passion & knowledge on the space. This includes technical knowledge of how blockchains work & interact with one another. Although, I do not code I am a great understanding of blockchain fundamentals. I have been using defi apps since 2020 & even started my own project in 2021 with another co founder that raised $250k from colors dao. I know I have no professional crypto experience but do consider myself a crypto native as that is what sparked my initial interest into finance & tech.
