How I Arrived at Ritholtz

“I’ve followed the majority of Ritholtz Wealth content since my early days in college. I actually contacted Ritholtz for an internship a handful of years ago (even though they weren’t looking for one) but Ritholtz has always been a place I’ve dreamed of going to. During and after college, I had some experiences with investment management and most recently investment banking, which involves a lot of different areas of research. Josh threw up an Instagram post looking for someone to help with research and I gave it shot!”

Favorite Part Of The Job

“I love how intertwined I get with financial markets on a daily basis. Earnings reports, fascinating charts, volatility, there’s an infinite amount of variables that make financial markets interesting – and I get to watch and dissect these variables on a daily basis. I’m constantly learning and growing and that’s an absolute blast for me.”

When I'm Not Working

“I go to the gym most days of the week, listen to a ton of podcasts, stream a ton of shows, read lots of different content, watch and play a handful of sports and explore New York, NY on a weekly basis trying new foods and drinks with family and friends.”
