I graduated from Georgetown University, where I studied Finance and began my career in investment banking. Like many ambitious college students, I initially focused heavily on getting into a competitive career without spending enough time asking a more fundamental question: what kind of work and life did I actually want? That question eventually became much more important to me. After gaining experience in investment banking, I moved into coaching at Scholars of Finance, a national organization that works with undergraduate finance students across the country. Today, much of my work sits at the intersection of career strategy, leadership, and personal development. I am particularly interested in helping ambitious students make thoughtful career decisions rather than simply following the most prestigious path available to them. Once someone knows what they are working toward and why, the practical pieces—recruiting, networking, interviewing, and skill development—become much easier to approach strategically. Outside of coaching, I spend much of my time reading and thinking about entrepreneurship, psychology, philosophy, leadership, and human performance. I care deeply about building a meaningful career and life, and I enjoy working with people who take those questions seriously.
