I have always been passionate about mentoring individuals and equipping them with the tools to succeed. This passion was the catalyst for me founding MERIT and inspired the entire team to build an online marketplace that invested in the next generation this country’s workforce. Now, this passion has transcended to a new arena. Over the last two years, I have been advising tech-enabled businesses that are focused on solving problems in three industries I have gained extensive experience in — Financial Services, Real Estate, and Education. I have helped these startups prove their concepts, raise capital, and grow their businesses. Although advising startups began as an informal side project, the experiences have opened up professional opportunities and I want to continue paying it forward to entrepreneurs.
I’m committed to helping promising entrepreneurs and founding teams solve the world’s biggest problems through solutions in fintech, real estate tech, and edtech sectors. So if you are an entrepreneur within one of my three focus industries feel free to take advantage of my March Madness Office Hours!
