As a financier & former tech banker, I have worked on over 100 transactions with over $1.5 billion in total deal volume. In addition to offering comprehensive interview preparation services, I'm an expert financial modeler and possess an extensive library of models & case studies. Whether you're looking to master beginner-level LBO models or tackle advanced technical merger models, I can help. I also have a comprehensive, concise primer to VC for those interested in pursuing a career in VC.

Upon graduating from UC Berkeley, I interviewed at over 50 firms in various segments of finance (VC, IB, PE, hedge fund, and commercial banking). Additionally, I hire 2 interns each summer, so am well-equipped to help answer questions about what I look for in prospective interns. Please reach out if you have questions, I’m here to help!

Career Development

Career Development

In my pursuit to find the best possible first job out of college for myself, I interviewed at over fifty firms in the past two years. From hedge funds, investment banks, venture capital, private equity, corporate development teams at tech companies such as Google and Oracle, and obviously management consultant firms, I have seen it all and what these firms expect you to know for your first round interviews for these entry-level positions. I could assist in preparing you for these interviews as well (or how to better prepare yourself to land yourself interviews in this field of corporate finance), and have access to many interview guides to help.
