I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Economics, where my academic focus has increasingly shifted toward mathematical structure and empirical reasoning. What draws me most to economics today is its discipline — the way it forces clarity, precision, and intellectual honesty.

 

This orientation did not emerge suddenly. My academic journey began with a deep curiosity about human behavior. Long before formally studying it, I was drawn to psychology and questions about how people think and make decisions. That early curiosity shaped how I approached every subject that followed.

 

When I entered the humanities stream in school, psychology was my primary interest. Economics, at the time, was simply part of the curriculum. Over time, however, it became central to my intellectual life. I was first drawn to it because it could explain everyday and counterintuitive phenomena with structure. Later, I became fascinated by the elegance of its mathematical framework.

 

My undergraduate training in psychology, economics, and sociology strengthened this interdisciplinary foundation. During my Master’s, my thinking shifted further toward rigor. I have grown increasingly uncomfortable accepting claims without analytical examination or evidence.

 

Alongside academics, I have continued working with visual art. For me, abstraction in art and abstraction in economic modeling feel deeply connected — both require careful observation, structure, and the search for underlying patterns.
