Freedman

Finance & Sports Analytics | Future Business Leader

I'm a senior from Syosset, NY with a passion for finance, data, and community impact. From founding Relay for Life to leading a student sports analytics club, I turn curiosity into action. I plan to pursue a career in finance, leveraging my analytical background and leadership experience to make meaningful contributions.

I believe the best decisions are rooted in data, and the best leaders are built through service. Whether it's modeling player contracts or rallying 300+ people for a cause, I bring the same dedication to everything I do.
