As a first-generation college graduate, I know first-hand how powerful higher education can be. I am motivated to help my Square One clients find their voices and effectively communicate their stories to the admissions committees so they succeed in this incredibly competitive process.
I earned a B.S. in Atmospheric Science from Cornell and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Prior to business school, I was a global capital markets analyst at Barclays and worked in business development at Gro Intelligence, which at the time was a seed-stage climate analytics startup. After business school, I was a senior associate at AMERRA Capital, a private equity firm focused on agribusiness investments. I then co-founded FarmTogether, a tech-enabled asset management company focused on direct investments in farmland, which I grew from no assets-under-management to $200M+ in assets under management. Careers today are rarely linear, and I enjoy working with candidates to help them understand how to not only explain but also embrace a winding road.
At Cornell, I was a Senior Residential Advisor and a Senior Teaching Advisor for courses in entrepreneurship and business management. At HBS, I was the Co-President of the Food, Agriculture, & Water Club, the HBS Representative for the Harvard Graduate Council, and a TOIGO Fellow and HBS Captain.
I am a native New Yorker (Go Mets!), dog afficionado, CrossFit athlete and co-owner of an affiliate located on Long Island (Pack Athletic Club).
