Throughout my fifteen years with SBC Consulting, ten years as Chief Editor with IvyPath College Consulting, and four years with MBA Prep School, I’ve helped countless applicants gain admission to their dream schools. With a primary focus on undergraduate admissions, I help clients present themselves as uniquely individual and authentic in their fit for each specific school and as passionate and contributing future alumni. Nothing is more important than a client’s story that reveals not only life experience but also the specific challenges that shaped unique qualities of character, personality, talents, goals, and desire to impact both the local and wider community throughout life. My method of finding the best story is through a series of questions that include a client’s most inspiring people, favorite moments, defining moments, and greatest challenges, fears and successes. When we have those answers, we have the beginnings of a story.

I've been building and investing in companies for the past decade. After graduating from Yale, I had a couple stints in consulting and global health before finding my way to startups. I started two companies, one a surplus food marketplace and the other in office management software. Neither was extraordinarily successful, but gave me a taste for helping companies go 0-1 and allowed me to meet some exceptional founders and builders. I started angel investing, realized I enjoyed investing/advising, and went to Wharton/Lauder with the intent of exploring venture capital (and to get better at Chinese). While in business school, I met Contrary and started working full time while still in my 2nd year. After graduating, I stayed on, became a partner 1.5 years in, and led deals in a number of great companies (Orchard Robotics, Nomic, Endeavor AI, etc.). I transitioned to a board partner/advisor role this past summer and have spent most of my time since helping build companies and continuing to angel invest. My angel portfolio includes companies like Ramp, Warp, Clara, Slingshot AI, and many others.
