A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Hey there! My name is Aarav Patel and I'm originally from Jacksonville, FL. I currently study Finance at the University of Florida, expecting to graduate in Spring of 2029. I have a keen interest for a career in asset management/equity research.

My involvements with the Gator Investment Banking Academy, GatoRaas, and The Scoop N Scootery gave me foundational knowledge in financial modeling, spreadsheet proficiency, and budget management.

Outside of academics, I enjoy fitness, music production, and Indian traditional dance. I'm always looking to learn new things, explore different interests, and take on tasks that challenge me.
