Career Coaching & Resources

With over a decade of experience in career development, I have guided 1000+ individuals to successfully navigate their professional journeys. As the Founder of worklifecircle, I create spaces for meaningful connections and personal growth, while my roles at NYU, Dartmouth and USC have honed my skills in career coaching and program development. My double master's in Clinical Social Work and Applied Positive Psychology allows me to integrate evidence-based strategies into my coaching, ensuring a holistic approach to career success. I love working with high-octane individuals who are in a place of transition.

Experienced CFO, investor, and entrepreneurial leader with a track record of success as a venture investor, business builder, fund-raiser and finance executive. While I continue to invest in venture capital, I developed my coaching practice in 2020 and since then have helped dozens of executives and entrepreneurs upskill, raise capital, find new opportunities, and excel in the new positions. I have done this work across industries, but most of my clients are entrepreneurs in tech/biotech, investment professionals in private equity/venture capital, or in real estate. I started my career as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney (now Citi) before getting my MBA at Harvard Business School. I spent several years in private equity and venture capital at Warburg Pincus before moving into public equity investing at hedge funds, including my own for several years. Most recently I pivoted back to venture capital with a new firm, 3Spoke Capital, and spent two years as the CFO of a new AI/medtech venture, PreciseDx, for which I raised over $20MM in a Series B. All the while I was active in the recruitment, training, and management of high performance teams. I know how to build great teams, help you find a role within them, and crush the new job once you secure it.

Seasoned career coach
