As a former tech investment banking analyst at Credit Suisse/UBS in San Francisco, I successfully navigated one of the most competitive recruiting processes and worked on high-impact M&A and capital markets transactions in the heart of Silicon Valley. I graduated from USC, where I studied Business Administration with a concentration in Finance and minored in Computer Programming and Data Analytics—giving me a strong foundation in both business strategy and technical problem-solving. I know exactly what top firms look for—having not only gone through the rigorous process myself, but also served on the internal recruitment team, where I reviewed resumes, led interviews, and helped shape incoming analyst classes. Whether you're refining your story, mastering technicals, or trying to stand out from a non-target background, I’ve been on both sides of the table and know how to guide you through each step with clarity and confidence.

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.

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.

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!
