Message

At GoingVC Partners, I source early-stage investment opportunities, prepare internal memos, and assess companies through due diligence and market analysis. I also connect portfolio companies with potential customers.

At NEW YORK ANGELS, I produced deal memos covering market sizing, competition, valuations, and cap tables for 14 companies. I also led due diligence meetings for those companies and hosted two in-person monthly meetings featuring pitching startups.

Before my MBA at NYU Stern, I managed industrial projects at PERRIGO and PROCTER & GAMBLE, including project capital of $3M and $10M, respectively. At GLOWIN, I’m leading fundraising submissions and a business transformation from hair and nail shops to restaurants.
