In Past Lives I Explored:

Investment Banking

I worked in Investment Banking for 2+ years. I thrive in fast-paced enviornments and enjoy the pressure and challenge of facing a steep learning curve.

Venture / Growth

I have always been passionate about entrepreneurship and curious about the investor world. From sourcing investments to meeting founders and learning about up-and-coming innovations, I appreciate the creative yet complex problem solving that comes with a company's early-stage journey and strive to be the one to offer solutions.
