Unlock Your Unique Brilliance | BlackRock --> Clinical Psych
My coaching journey began when I worked as a peer advisor for the Washington University Career Center. In this role, I staffed five walk-in hours per week, helping students identify their career interests and guiding them through all stages of the job search process. I realized that I had a knack for coaching: students frequently attended my walk-in hours, often requested to meet with me specifically, and landed selective fellowships, internships, and jobs. Upon graduating from college in 2019, I spent five years at BlackRock, the world’s largest financial asset manager with $10.6 million in assets under management. I continued to support people in navigating their career journeys: I advised five early-career employees via the BlackRock Analyst Buddy Program, mentored a cohort of 10 college students during the Out for Undergrad LGBTQ+ professional development conference, served as a peer counselor for a crisis text line for work-related issues, and earned the United Jewish Appeal New York Federation’s Volunteer Award for the career guidance I provide to young Orthodox LGBTQ+ Jews through a local nonprofit. In August 2024, I started the next chapter of my career: I am combining my coaching passion with my research expertise—which I developed through research experiences at Harvard, Brown, Boston College, Washington University, and BlackRock—by beginning Yeshiva University’s clinical psychology doctoral program. As a psychologist, I will develop and implement evidence-based techniques to help people thrive.
