Strategic finance professional specializing in FP&A and financial modeling for tech startups. I help companies prepare for investor due diligence, raise capital, and build the financial infrastructure they need to scale.
My work spans the full fundraising lifecycle, from building models for VC investors and financial feasibility reports for debt financing, to cap table forecasts and fund-level portfolio modeling that breaks down IRR drivers.
I also work with venture capital funds, helping them raise capital from LPs and supporting due diligence on prospective investments.
Before my career in venture capital and startups, I worked as an equity research associate at Morningstar. Prior to that, I worked at an investor relations consulting firm helping public companies manage their IR programs.
Industry experience includes gene therapy, blockchain, robotic agriculture, and deep-tech ventures like lab-grown leather.
As a former leader of the Greater Chicago Food Depository Associate Board, I've seen firsthand how food insecurity affects communities. I believe access to nutritious food is a fundamental right, and I continue to support efforts that address hunger at both the immediate and systemic level.
I'm focused on climate resiliency: how communities, infrastructure, and economies can adapt to the realities of a changing climate. Mitigation matters, but so does building systems that can withstand what's already coming. I support Citizen's Climate Lobby and their work advocating for bipartisan climate solutions.
Scientific literacy helps people evaluate evidence and make informed decisions. This is essential for navigating the modern world. I'm a member of the Planetary Society, where we advocate for science funding and work to inspire curiosity about the cosmos.
