Building a complete view of finance.
Kensington is a Chapman University business graduate with an economics minor and an interest in both the analytical and client-facing sides of finance. She is drawn to the way broad economic trends, industry dynamics, and company fundamentals come together when evaluating an investment.
Her academic background in macro and microeconomics gives her a framework for looking at both the market environment and the business behind a stock: what the company does, how it makes money, and what can affect its outlook.
Through her internship at IEQ Capital in San Francisco, she is gaining client-facing experience inside private wealth. She enjoys the culture of advisory work: preparation, clear communication, and helping clients feel grounded in financial decisions.
