I’m an active investor at Level Up Ventures, backing pre‑seed and seed founders who’ve historically lacked access to capital. Previously, at Volvo Cars Tech Fund global CVC. I operated across the U.S., Europe, and China, sourcing and diligencing early‑stage deals and working with portfolio teams. I’ve also held roles with Microsoft’s venture fund (M12), F‑Prime Capital, and ByteDance, and I bring an operator’s lens from time at an early‑stage startup. I’ve supported multiple early‑stage investments end‑to‑end from market maps and thesis work to diligence, deal memos, and post‑investment support. I’ve completed two formal VC training fellowships (HBCUvc and the Black Venture Capital Consortium) and now volunteer coach in those communities. Having seen venture from the LP perspective (as a pension fund analyst), corporate VC, independent VC, and the operator seat, I know what hiring teams look for and how candidates can demonstrate investor judgment. I translate that into practical coaching: sharpening your investor narrative, building theses and market maps, preparing take‑home memos, and running partner‑style mock interviews.

I was an MBA Investment Associate at a student-run venture capital group at Wharton. I also recently recruited for a summer internship in climate tech VC, where I went through the process of crafting my own investment thesis.

Breaking into venture capital is hard -- especially without the banking or consulting path. I went through dozens of interviews, technical cases, and partner conversations before landing investor roles, and I understand firsthand what it takes to stand out in a competitive process with out a traditional background. I have experience across early-stage VC and fintech product management at Citi. As a coach, I focus on helping candidates translate their unique backgrounds into compelling stories, prepare for cases with confidence, and develop the frameworks that interviewers are really looking for. If you’re trying to break into VC (especially from a non-traditional background) I can help you navigate the process and land the role.

I began my venture capital career at Sequoia Capital, where I learned directly from some of the industry’s best—gaining firsthand insight into how top firms identify and support exceptional founders. I went on to receive additional training through a selective venture scout program affiliated with Accel, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Sequoia, which sharpened my ability to assess early-stage opportunities and develop a strong investment thesis. Today, I bring that experience into my work as an angel investor, backing founders who are building with intention and ambition.
