Message

At Citigroup, I partner with senior executives across consumer, retail, mobility, and healthcare companies, translating financial data into strategic narratives for capital allocation, growth, and long-term positioning. I also coordinate client relationships and deal execution from ideation through close.

For V.F. Corp, I supported its move to a $1.25Bn ABL structure, led deal marketing, and built borrowing base models to assess inventory and sales seasonality. For Boston Scientific Corporation’s $11.0Bn acquisition financing of Penumbra, I led Citi’s global credit and risk strategy and maintained a free cash flow model.

At F.C. Harlem, I lead creative strategy for an MLS NEXT academy expanding access beyond soccer’s pay-to-play model. I helped establish an off-field partnership with Nike, coordinated a Fashion Week NYC activation that drove a 3x increase in social engagement, and executed a community pick-up series and mural activation.

Through Mood Red, I provide strategic guidance and create networking opportunities across music, fashion, and sport. I also serve as CAO of The Uniform Funding Foundation, working on leadership panel sourcing, capital allocation strategy, and jersey design for a nonprofit supporting youth athletic teams in high-need communities.
