I came to finance through an unusual path — a degree in Cinema, then years of self-directed study that led to a CEFA certification and a CIIA exam in September 2025. The connection isn't as strange as it sounds. Cinema teaches you to read narratives before they resolve — to spot the gap between the story being told and what's actually happening underneath. That skill transfers directly into financial research, but also into how you communicate complex ideas to an audience that isn't already a believer. Understanding how a story lands is half the job, whether you're writing a research report, a macro thesis or a content strategy for a product nobody has heard of yet. My primary focus is macro research and crypto as an asset class — monetary conditions, liquidity cycles, on-chain data, tokenomics. But I've built the same analytical framework that makes a good researcher into the way I approach communication: start from first principles, cut what doesn't hold up, make the argument legible to someone who doesn't share your priors. I'm not coming from a Goldman desk or a quant PhD. I'm coming from genuine intellectual curiosity, documented credentials and a habit of forming independent views and writing them down clearly. Open to remote roles in crypto research, fintech, macro analysis, content strategy and financial communication.
I tried to explain DeFi to my family at Christmas. By the end they understood impermanent loss. Personally.
