I coach because I know firsthand how competitive and intimidating investment banking recruiting can be, especially if you don't come from a traditional finance background or have an established network in the industry. Having spent over four years at Goldman Sachs and Lazard, I've experienced the recruiting process from multiple perspectives and understand what it takes to stand out. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to have mentors who helped me navigate technical interviews, networking, and career decisions, and I want to pay that forward. I genuinely enjoy helping candidates build their confidence, strengthen their technical skills, and tell their stories in a way that resonates with interviewers. My goal is to make investment banking recruiting feel more approachable and help others land opportunities they may not have thought were possible.
