My Columbia journey in private equity has been centered on both continuing to build my investor skillset and community leadership. As VP of the PE Club, I have helped to lead the PE Recruitment Training workshop. The coursework I have taken, and my participation in case competitions (including winning the Wharton MBA Buyout Competition), has equipped me to be an effective investor post-MBA.
