Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in investment banking and private equity, I am here to help you navigate the competitive landscape of investment banking careers. I worked at Goldman Sachs for 2 summers and 5 years (Summer Analyst-Associate), in multiple private equity roles (Vista Equity Partners, Audax Private Equity) and have extensive experience with interview preparation, on-the-desk readiness, general career navigation, technical skill refinement, and more. Currently, I am pursuing my MBA at Columbia Business School as a Robert F. Smith Scholar, further deepening my expertise in alternative investments and entrepreneurship. Over the last decade, I have coached 75+ students/early stage professionals across a variety of formal and informal capacities. Whether you need help with interview preparation, resume refinement, or networking strategies, I'm here to support your journey. I genuinely love this stuff and remember how difficult my journey was trying to "figure it out" - Let's book time to chat about how I can be helpful!

If you want a coach who understands what it takes to earn an investment banking offer and what hiring teams actually look for, I bring both perspectives. I’ve built my career across investment banking and private equity, and I was actively involved in intern and analyst hiring during my time in the industry. That experience gives me a clear view into how candidates are evaluated, where most applicants fall short, and what separates a strong profile from a forgettable one. My coaching is designed to be results-oriented and practical, with a step-by-step plan that covers positioning, networking strategy, technical preparation, and interview performance. What also sets me apart is that I did not come up through the standard pipeline. I navigated a non-traditional recruiting pathway and broke into the industry starting from community college. I know how to build credibility when your background is not conventional, how to craft a story that resonates with bankers, and how to create momentum when you feel behind the curve. Clients work with me for clear direction, honest feedback, and an execution plan that is tailored to their goals and timeline. The end goal is simple: a sharper narrative, stronger interviews, and a process that consistently converts effort into offers.

I’m a non-target success story who beat the odds and secured investment banking offers at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Bank of America. I now help other students from non-traditional backgrounds break into top-tier IB roles through sharp resume edits, story crafting, technical prep, and networking strategies that actually convert into interviews. If you're grinding from a non-target school, I’ve walked that path — and I’ll help you crack the code. All coaching with me comes with complimentary technical documents and models.

I successfully broke into investment banking from a non-finance background while at Wharton, landing first-round interviews across top bulge bracket and elite boutique firms—both in coverage and product groups. I ultimately accepted an offer from J.P. Morgan’s M&A team, my top choice, and received a return offer after a strong summer internship. Having gone through the process myself, I understand how overwhelming MBA recruiting can be—especially for career switchers. I can help you clarify your story, prepare for behavioral and technical interviews, and navigate firm preferences and group selection. Beyond the recruiting process, I also coach on how to succeed during the internship itself and evaluate whether banking is the right path based on your long-term goals. Whether you’re just exploring the idea or are deep in prep, I’m here to help you make confident, well-informed decisions.

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 have coached tons of people and have interviewed lots of people. I am school captain for Harvard and MIT recruiting at Morgan Stanley’s Technology IBD group. I am an excellent story teller and can help you prep your pitch and for behavioral questions. I also came into banking with no finance background so can help you really break down the technicals. After working at Bridgewater Associates, I managed to secure offers from Morgan Stanley’s Tech Investment Banking group and Goldman Sach’s TMT group in SF. I am kind and understanding but also honest with my feedback. I can help you put your best foot forward with banking recruiting.

With two years as an Analyst at Moelis & Company, I bring a deep understanding of the demands and nuances of investment banking. As one of the first University of Georgia students to work at Moelis, I gained unique insights into breaking into competitive roles from non-traditional starting points. At Moelis, I led a financial literacy program educating NY area universities on accounting and valuation fundamentals. I also closely supported recruiting, leading the screening process for non-core candidates. My passion for mentorship stems from my own journey, including serving as the Head of the Investment Banking Training Program at UGA (the Corsair Society). In this role, I trained and mentored 32 candidates who secured IB roles in major financial hubs such as NYC, Boston, Atlanta, SF, and Charlotte.

With a robust background in finance and investment banking, I bring over two decades of experience to my coaching practice. As a former Director at Merrill Lynch, I led numerous IPOs and raised over $1B for Asian companies, working closely with top institutional funds such as Fidelity and Vanguard. In addition to my transactional experience, I was involved in interviewing and evaluating candidates as part of the hiring process, giving me firsthand insight into how banks assess talent. My expertise extends to coaching startup founders and C-suite executives, empowering them to unlock their full potential and thrive in dynamic environments. Whether you’re aiming to break into investment banking or advance your career, I help clients navigate complexity with clarity and confidence. Let’s connect and chart your path to success
