Overview

Abra is a steady, grounded operator whose work ethic and consistency made her one of the most reliable members of the Fall Diamond League cohort. She embodies the classic Behind-the-Scenes archetype — thoughtful, observant, and deliberate — paired with a collaborative leadership style that makes her an easy teammate to trust.

Her athletic résumé speaks for itself: Ivy League Champion, Second Team All-Ivy, and a full-time starter in every tournament during the 2024–2025 season. Academically and professionally, she blends economics, finance, and data literacy with hands-on project work at Descanso Gardens and direct mentorship through Athlete to Athlete.

Student Support consistently highlighted her kindness, effort, and growth mindset. While she sometimes overthinks or overlooks instructions, these are minor coaching points within an otherwise disciplined and motivated profile. Her trajectory points upward — and with more reps, she has a real chance to outperform her current ranking.

Strengths

Composed, reliable presence — steadiness, maturity, and strong follow-through in team environments.
Division I competitive pedigree — Ivy League Champion & Second Team All-Ivy.
Cross-functional experience across finance, communications, education, and horticulture.
Strong communication instincts — excellent with younger students and mentees.
Data-driven mindset — comfort with large data sets, Excel, VBA, and structured analysis.
Global fluency — fluent in French with a strong cultural foundation.

Areas for Development

Continue sharpening IB fundamentals (valuation and modeling reps) to match her discipline.
Double-check assignment instructions to avoid avoidable slips — her underlying capability is higher than any small errors.
Trust her instincts more and reduce overthinking when her initial work is already strong.

Projection

A high-upside Round 2–3 MAP prospect with a strong competitive résumé, grounded personality, and collaborative leadership style. Abra’s reliability, emotional intelligence, and steady growth curve position her to thrive in team-based analyst environments. With continued technical reps and confidence in her own abilities, she has the tools to grow into a culture-driver and long-term asset on any deal team.
