Investment Banking

Group focus / specialty: Technology (TMT) My involvement with the investment banking industry began in 2018 when I secured three coveted early investment banking offers from top investment banks (e.g., J.P. Morgan, Barclays) before even stepping foot on campus for my MBA. I also landed multiple fellowships, such as the J.P. Morgan Early Advantage Fellowship, that translate into six-figure bonuses in addition to standard signing bonuses. For the last 5 recruiting cycles, I've leveraged my know-how to help a variety of applicants land investment banking and fellowships offers. At J.P. Morgan, I covered the technology sector in the investment bank and served as a Harvard and UChicago School Captain for campus recruiting. In the Captain role, I was heavily involved with interviewing at the firm and have a strong understanding of what it takes to build a compelling profile to land a top investment banking offer. My experience as a coach at the boutique MBA consulting firm Ivy Advisors and SEO Career has further honed my skills in mentorship and coaching. I have helped hundreds of clients achieve their educational and professional goals. I am especially helpful to investment banking applicants who are looking to: ◉ perfect their "why investment banking" story ◉ refine their technical interview skills ◉ land a spot on a coveted technology coverage group ◉ recruit for West Coast opportunities ◉ transition from a different industry ◉ develop a pitch for why they find a company or deal interesting and what the value proposition is there ◉ leverage their unique BIPOC and/or international lived experience ◉ compete for fellowships that provide significant payouts for summer and full-time joiners - especially for women, BIPOC, veterans, and LGBTQIA+ candidates

I started recruiting from a school where no sophomore had ever received an Investment Banking summer analyst offer before. When I began recruiting, I was completely in the dark about where I should go and what I should do. Through thousands of hours of thoughtful preparation and work, I was able to gain interviews from over 10 Bulge Bracket & Elite Boutique firms and go on to be the first person in my school's history to place. I want to be able to share with students who are going through the exact same struggles the things they need to know in order to succeed in recruiting. Throughout my recruitment, I created detailed processes for networking which allowed me access to senior bankers which converted to interviews. I also learned technicals in unique ways by myself which never let me down in any interview. I am extremely passionate about sharing these processes and helping the next generation of deserving students reach their goals of working in investment banking.

Welcome to my profile! I’m qualified to coach in investment banking because I’ve worked in the IB environment and understand exactly what banks look for, in interviews and on the job. I bring hands-on investment banking experience from firms such as Morgan Stanley and Société Générale, where I worked on live M&A and capital markets transactions, building financial models, valuations, and pitchbooks under real deal timelines. This exposure gives me a clear understanding of how banks assess technical ability, commercial judgment, and execution mindset, not just whether someone can answer technical questions. I’ve coached international candidates across undergraduate, master’s, and lateral-hire tracks targeting bulge bracket, elite boutique, and strong middle-market banks. My coaching focuses on structured technical mastery, practical financial modeling intuition, and crisp deal storytelling, combined with direct, honest feedback. No shortcuts, no memorized answers, just clear fundamentals, repetition where it matters, and interview readiness aligned with real IB expectations.
