Why did you join the Yale Investments Office?

I’m at a point in my life and career where balancing my personal career goals with the needs of my family and the value and impact of the work I’m doing is very important to me.  I see a tremendous opportunity to bring my experience to bear to help YIO achieve its mission in a more scalable and sustainable manner than ever before while also being present and involved in my family’s day-to-day activities.  I feel humbled, lucky, and very excited to have such a unique opportunity. 

What is your favorite Yale sports team?

The Yale Men’s Lacrosse team is my favorite Yale sports team, with Yale Men’s Hockey at the Whale running neck and neck.   My whole family loves attending YML games in the spring.
