My name is Bhavya Johar, a second-year student at the University of Virginia. I've always had a keen interest in coding, but lately, I've also grown passionate about finance. As an active member of the Gayner Fund and Enactus at UVA, I've delved into value investing and honed skills in analyzing companies' competitiveness, capital efficiency, and management structure. Enactus has also shaped my expertise in management consulting through hands-on experiences. These pursuits have enriched my academic journey, providing me with a holistic skill set. Outside academics, I enjoy spending time at the Virginia Poker Club and rock climbing with friends.
