Background and interests

I am currently a second year philosophy undergraduate, interested in Earning to Give and Advocacy.

This year I’m the Secretary of the Giving What We Can: Cambridge chapter, and next year I will be helping set up 80,000 Hours here in Cambridge. If you want to get involved with either of these projects, let me know!

I will also be interning in the investment banking arm of Macquarie Group over the summer, so if you are applying for finance internships I’m happy to chat and give any advice I can.

Causes I support

• Global poverty: Improving health
• Animal welfare
• Meta-activities: Cost-effectiveness research and global prioritisation
• Meta-activities: Building the effective altruist movement
