I specialize in: - Financial modeling and cash flow forecasting for startups and small businesses - Investor presentations, pitch deck creation, and fundraising strategy - Startup consulting and strategic financial planning - Accelerator and incubator application coaching - Graduate school application coaching, including MBA and masterโ€™s programs - Personal statement development, resume editing, and interview preparation - Career coaching and network building - Presentation skills development Before launching my consulting practice, I worked in venture capital and private equity, supporting early- and growth-stage companies through scaling, fundraising, and exits. I've sat on the investor side of the table and know firsthand what makes a pitch resonate โ€” whether it's securing funding, getting into a top accelerator, or winning admission to a world-class academic program. As a founder myself, I've successfully led my fintech startup through multiple competitive accelerator programs by building compelling business decks, sharpening our financial story, identifying and scoping strong market opportunities, and delivering live pitches that made investors and program directors want to get on board. I know how to package not just the numbers, but the narrative โ€” helping clients turn their vision into a clear, credible, and exciting story that wins support. I bring a strategic, supportive approach to every project, helping you build a strong financial foundation and communicate your story with clarity and impact. Letโ€™s work together to move your future forward!
