Hello and welcome to my profile! My professional career spans roles at competitive firms like Bain & Company (management consulting), Greycroft (VC/growth equity), and Snap Inc. (marketing & technical project management). I led resume reviews, interviews, and hiring decisions across all levels at each of these companies. On the college front, I was privileged to attend the University of Southern California (USC) on a merit scholarship. I majored in Economics and also graduated from their prestigious Thematic Option honors program. I've since supported several students through their own application processes, helping them craft compelling narratives, strategically position their applications, and prepare for interviews. While I have significant experience in various industries, I’m most passionate about technology, entrepreneurship, finance, and retail / consumer brands. Let's work together to make your career dreams a reality—reach out to start your journey today!

Hi! I spent close to a decade in venture capital, business operations, investment banking, and management consulting before pursuing a dream job as a full-time college water polo coach. Having worked my way up to Principal at GSV Ventures, I have firsthand experience in building a career in venture and all the different aspects of VC (sourcing, deciding, winning, helping startups). I also spent four years in management consulting at Bain. At both GSV and Bain, I was heavily involved with recruiting and interviewing candidates. Whether you're looking to break into venture capital or advance your career, I'm here to provide tailored guidance, support, and coaching. Let's connect and chart your path to success in the VC industry!

With over a decade of experience in venture capital and private equity, I have mentored and trained over 500 students, helping them build strong investment skills and land prestigious jobs in top firms. As a Partner at University Growth Fund, I have raised $90M in capital commitments and invested in over 100 high-profile startups, including unicorns like Snap and Spotify. I've also helped coach and mentor several emerging managers get their first fund off the ground. My hands-on approach and robust training programs have consistently helped students land prestigious jobs, earning 120% more on average at graduation than their peers. If you're looking to break into venture capital, elevate your investment acumen, or launch your own fund, let's connect and make a plan together!

I broke into venture capital when recruiters told me I couldn’t. I made a complete pivot from investor relations into investing — without a traditional on-paper profile — and landed roles at both a top growth-stage fund in Europe and a leading early-stage firm in New York. There’s a strategy to breaking into VC that goes far beyond resume buzzwords or cold emails. It’s about positioning, pattern-matching, and communicating exactly the kind of investor you’ll be — clearly and compellingly. Most candidates approach the process passively. I’ll help you play offense. Whether you're pre-MBA, pivoting from finance or ops, or trying to stand out in a sea of similar profiles, I know how to help you shape your story, ace interviews, and get the offer. This is a relationship-driven industry — and I’ll coach you like someone who’s navigated it firsthand, not just watched from the sidelines.

Want to know what VCs are thinking about your resume or pitch deck? Want to practice your pitch or "story" and get real-world feedback in confidence? Want insights on the esoteric VC industry, specific firms, recruiting methodologies, diligence processes, or simply how to access VCs? I spent several years working for top Bay-Area VC funds. I've looked at thousands of pitch decks as an investor, invested in 15+ companies, and observed 60+ board meetings. I have deep insight into the recruiting process as well, having earned 5 offers from top funds and led the hiring process for multiple interns and junior investors. Whether your a founder trying to raise capital or a young professional trying to break into the space, I'm your sherpa for navigating the VC industry. Let's talk.
