Experience level: Analyst
I have successfully guided mentees to offers at Morgan Stanley, Point72 Academy, Evercore, Blackstone Tactical Opportunities, Moelis, and other elite financial services firms. My coaching is grounded in real-world buy-side experience: I began my career at the longest-tenured long-short equity investing program, Point72 Academy, and currently work at The Cypress Funds, a $1.5B AUM 3-person public equities investment team. How I’m Different: 1. Recent Recruiting Experience - I’ve been in your shoes! As a recent graduate and valedictorian, I am intimately familiar with the entire finance undergraduate recruiting lifecycle, having recently participated in superdays at Blackstone Private Equity, Goldman Sachs, Centerview Partners, Point72, and other top financial services firms. 2. Diversity Recruiting Specialist - I’m an expert in navigating the diversity undergraduate pipeline. During my undergraduate years, I participated in both SEO and MLT + was selected for ~20 competitive diversity programs. My acceptances included: - Hedge Funds & Quant: Point72 Future of Finance Diversity Accelerator, D. E.
