At Columbia, I've built my private equity path around hands-on deal work, from my Private Equity Fellows candidacy project with GTO Partners to in-semester roles at G3X Capital, where I reviewed CIMs, met with founders, and supported diligence. Outside the classroom, I lead the 330-member Columbia ETA Club as President and stay active in the PE Club and CSIMA, connecting students with investors, SMB owners, and lenders across the ownership ecosystem.
