Profile

I am a finance professional with M&A, restructuring & capital markets experience. Previously, I was an Associate in Jefferies’ Healthcare Investment Banking group, where I drove execution of marketing materials and financial modeling-related deliverables. My other roles in consulting and investment management additionally have provided me a strong foundation in performing due diligence, data analysis, and strategic advisory-related tasks. This breadth of experience enables me to wear different hats on the teams I work on and maintain flexibility in my management and leadership style. Additionally, my client-facing experience across consulting and investment banking in particular highlights my ability to adapt to my environment to optimize the workflows I operate in.

Career Highlight 1: Transaction Experience: While at Jefferies, served as lead associate on numerous M&A and Equity Capital Markets experience, coordinating multiple teams to deliver marketing materials, valuation analysis for clients on over 10 closed transactions. This advisory-oriented experience improved me all around both as a worker and teammate, particularly strengthening my client-facing skill set

Career Highlight 2: Investment Analysis: At Saratoga, produced weekly investment screening memos for sponsor-backed middle-market opportunities ($20–100M+ EV), leveraging financial analysis, cohort studies, and third-party diligence to support investment committee decisions. This experience improved my investment decision-making capabilities.

Career Highlight 3: Completion of General Assembly Data Science analytics program: Taught myself coding language Python with no prior computer programming education or experience, and then applied to and successfully completed 12-week data science course utilizing Python. At General Assembly, I successfully created a data science algorithm to utilize Python to build a daily fantasy sports lineup optimizer that achieved positive ROI in the 2016 baseball season. This showcased my ability to learn new skills quickly.
