Beyond Academics
Curiosity has always driven me to go beyond classroom learning and explore how theory connects to the real world. Through research, global programs, and online certifications, I’ve built a foundation that blends business, data analytics, and design thinking, which are the exact skills I aim to carry into my university studies and future entrepreneurial ventures.
1. Research Paper
Established an independent research project, titled “The Business of Stardom: How Celebrity Branding Shapes Film Revenue and Audience Loyalty.” The study investigates how celebrity brand equity influences both financial performance and consumer loyalty in the global film industry.
My research explores the economics of stardom, which is how actors today function as integrated brand ecosystems, shaping not only a film’s market success but also audience behavior and loyalty trends. The project involves analyzing case studies, industry data, and cross-market comparisons, leading to a virtual research portfolio and academic report.
This has enhanced my understanding of marketing analytics, behavioral economics, and strategic brand management, reinforcing my interest in the intersection of business, media, and consumer psychology.

At Crebaco Global, a financial research and blockchain analytics firm, I worked with the research team to explore the evolving fintech and crypto markets.
