At Moelis, I played a key role in analyst recruiting, handling everything from resume and cover letter reviews to first-round interviews, super day interviews, and participating in and making hiring decisions.

In short, I know what makes for a great analyst and how they get hired. I look forward to working together!

I am a Harvard MBA with Honors and was accepted out of UChicago as a 2+2 admit to HBS. I worked at Morgan Stanley out of college in the analyst program and became a Partner (Managing Director) for many years. I have coached investment banking for over a decade, and while I am new to Leland, I have coached over 1,000 candidates (I call them "coachees") into virtually all of the major investment banks, private equity, and venture capital firms. I coach internships and full time recruiting for undergraduates (from both target and non-target schools!), MBA recruiting, and also lateral candidates - transitioning from investment banking to private equity, for example, and on-cycle recruiting. My focus is on marketing collateral (resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn review), conducting outreach (using handshake and LinkedIn to reach recruiters), coaching behaviorals and technicals, and mock interviewing. The vast majority of my coachees receive offers!

I graduated with a non-traditional finance degree (hotel administration) but successfully transitioned to investment banking, ultimately ranking top and heavily involved in recruiting for summer interns at Moelis. I have experience of working with 60+ clients and mentees; I'm confident that I can help you land an offer through customized interview prep. Coaching sessions with me will come with complementary documents and guides that will help you with both qualitative and quantitative questions that will be asked during your investment banking interviews. So far, I have 100% internship placement rate with clients who had at least 3 sessions with me.
