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!

Raised capital from them, participated in IC, became a fellow. Built models for funds and firms.

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.

I have spent over 7 years in finance, interned at two top venture capital funds and have been an active angel investor since 2019. I have a deep understanding of how to prep for interviews, build a thesis to make your application stand out and most importantly, stay focused on the goals to find the right fund and stage of investing for you.

I help people break into venture capital by combining real fund experience, deep exposure to early-stage investing, and hands-on operational context from building companies myself. I’ve worked inside VC funds, evaluated startups across multiple sectors, supported diligence processes, and built relationships throughout the ecosystem. On the operator side, I’ve founded and scaled my own startup, advised dozens of early-stage teams, and worked closely with founders on fundraising, financial analysis, storytelling, and go-to-market strategy. Because I’ve lived both sides of the table, I’m able to teach not just how to get into VC, but how to think like an investor—how to evaluate companies, form an investment thesis, communicate your judgment, and stand out in interviews. I help clients translate their background into a compelling VC narrative and build the skills, frameworks, and confidence needed to enter and thrive in the industry.

Former founder turned venture investor and company helper. Happy to jam on anything related to fundraising, investing, recruiting, or transitioning into venture! For those on the MBA path, I also went to Wharton as part of the dual-degree Lauder Program. Happy to help with admissions, GMAT, Lauder qualifications, and anything else on your mind.
