Trinity College Dublin.
I’m an Economics student at Trinity College Dublin, most interested in the nexus between politics, economics, national security, geopolitics, and technology, and how power and capital move across it.
I host the Trinity Student Managed Fund Podcast, the show for the oldest and largest student-managed fund in Europe, where I sit down for long-form conversations with people who build, allocate, and operate at the highest level.
