Big Life Wins:

I led and negotiated the new CRM system at my fund and implemented the project. I also like residential real estate and currently own two houses in Florida (rent them out). I studied abroad in Sydney, Australia and there was one day when I went skydiving and bungee jumping (I consider this a big win). Enjoy traveling have been to 30+ countries.

Post MBA Goal:

Return to middle market private equity in NYC or Florida (I’m welcome to return to my current firm but not sponsored by them for school). I am based in NYC so really would like to attend CBS and have spent a lot of time networking with current students / alumni.
