Quant Finance Career Coach | Ex-MSCF Career Services | 270+ Success Stories
As one of two Career Coaches for the MSCF program at Carnegie Mellon, I helped three cohorts of quant finance students achieve 100% internship rate, with 95% receiving full-time offers by graduation. I also partnered closely with early career teams across hedge funds, asset managers, prop shops, investment banks, fintechs, and consulting firms—giving me firsthand insight into what makes candidates stand out in this space. Now, I coach early-to-mid-career quants (and lots of career changers breaking into the field) to: - Clarify their career direction in quant and close the technical skill gap - Network and rebrand their resume/LinkedIn with confidence - Personalize their search strategy and interview style in a way that represents them best I work with all types of clients, including many who are international, first-generation, neurodivergent, women, or LGBTQ+. If you're looking for someone to help you navigate the full recruitment cycle, refine your message, and adapt when life throws you off track — I’d love to work with you.
