Bio

Hi! I'm Alina. I graduated from Williams College with a Bachelors degree in Economics and Applied Mathematics, during which I interned for two summers at JPMorgan in Derivatives Trading in NYC. After graduation, I worked at Goldman Sachs in Investment Banking on many M&A and IPO deals, e.g. as the sole Analyst on the $100bn Reverse Morris Trust of WarnerMedia subsidiary of AT&T Merged with Discovery.

Hi! I'm Alina. I graduated from Williams College with a Bachelors degree in Economics and Applied Mathematics, during which I interned for two summers at JPMorgan in Derivatives Trading in NYC. After graduation, I worked at Goldman Sachs in Investment Banking on many M&A and IPO deals, e.g. as the sole Analyst on the $100bn Reverse Morris Trust of WarnerMedia subsidiary of AT&T Merged with Discovery. After Goldman, I worked at Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners in Private Equity, working on deals such as a $21bn Co-investment Bid of Deutsche Telekom Cell Tower Portfolio, and after that at Cerberus Capital Management within the RMBS Hedge Fund space.

I'm currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing on a full-ride scholarship at NYU, and hold a CTLE College Advisor Certificate from Columbia University Teachers College. I've also completed graduate-level financial engineering / statistics coursework at Columbia University.

I've always loved teaching and mentoring students, having TA'ed at Williams College in Applied Mathematics for 3 years and taught NYU undergrad writing classes for the last 1.5 years. I've helped countless students secure bulge bracket IB/PE/S&T finance internships and job offers, and have also worked at some of the top college consulting firms in the South Pacific (Crimson Consulting and HYP Academy) to help mentor students in their US college application journey. Students that I've consulted for have been admitted to Brown, Yale, NYU, Columbia, Cornell, Cambridge, UC schools, Babson, amongst others.

I'm dedicated to teaching and to the growth of every one of my students! My main teaching areas include:
- tutoring and consulting for college or high school students looking to get into finance / secure internships or full time offers in S&T, IB, PE, HF, etc
- College admissions consulting / mentoring for high school students
- Subject tutoring in Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, English
- SAT tutoring
- Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing admissions consulting
