About me: After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, I commissioned as a US Army Finance Officer. Over the next five years, I served in roles across the US, from leading soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, to working at the Pentagon on strategic funding and resource decisions for the Army. Those experiences gave me a strong foundation in leadership, finance and decision-making in complex environments.
Toward the end of my Army career, I became increasingly interested in how similar questions around capital, strategy and relationships play out in the private sector. An internship with Blackstone’s institutional client solutions team helped confirm that interest and pushed me toward a career in investor relations and fundraising.
I chose London Business School to broaden my perspective, gain exposure to new industries and ways of thinking, and make a deliberate transition into the private sector.
At London Business School, I’m involved in the Private Equity and Venture Club, the Military and Defence Club, and the North American Club.
Outside of school, I’m slowly eating my way through London and am always looking for the next great restaurant or neighborhood to try.
Three topics I can be approached about: Military and defence; international moving; pre-MBA internships.
