My career has been intentionally non-linear. I’ve worked across banking, venture capital, startup CFO roles, and now manage a $400M+ hedge fund. I’ve made multiple pivots — some planned, some uncertain at the time — and understand how to reposition experience, communicate transferable skills, and move into roles that don’t look obvious on paper. If you’re thinking about breaking into finance, moving from operator to investor, pivoting industries, or leveling up into leadership roles, I focus on strategy first. We’ll clarify where you want to go, what narrative supports that move, and how to execute with credibility.

Over the last six years, I have coached hundreds of students at a large R1 institution, guiding them as they prepare for the job search. I work with applicants from resume creation to interviews to navigating negotiations and offers, and I can't wait to do the same with you. Whether you're just entering the workforce, or you're just looking to revamp your materials and prepare for new opportunities, I'm confident that my coaching experience will be an asset to you. My approach centers around making meaning of your experiences, helping you to find the connections to your future goals, and translating those in a way that will resonate with the employers. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals!

My passion for career coaching started early—I was a Peer Career Advisor at Brown, where I helped classmates refine resumes, prepare for interviews, and explore different paths. That interest only deepened during my MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where my education was steeped in leadership, coaching, and career development. At GSB, I not only went through the process of making my own career decisions in banking, private equity, and startups, but also supported classmates in navigating some of the toughest inflection points of their careers. Helping people figure out their next move has long been more than a job for me—it’s a passion. Part of that comes from watching my mom take so many twists and turns in her own career, which taught me that there’s no single “right” path. With the right guidance, support, and structure, you can make bold transitions and land in the role that feels right for you. As a coach, I combine the structured frameworks and world-class training I developed at Stanford GSB with candid, personalized advice. Whether you’re seeking your first job, pivoting industries, or aiming for your dream role, I’ll help you clarify your goals, sharpen your story, and approach the process with confidence.
