About Susan

I'm a former investment banker at Goldman Sachs with ~$20B of M&A transaction experience. I coach undergrads and MBAs seeking to recruit for internships and full-time roles in investment banking.

I started coaching because so many people helped me along my career journey, and I want to do the same for others. Coaching also keeps me learning and connected to driven and curious people who inspire me just as much as I hope to help them in their paths.
