Why did you join the Yale Investments Office?

The office’s “people-first” culture and emphasis on camaraderie. Additionally, I was super excited to contribute to Yale’s mission to improve the world today and for the future.

What is your favorite spot on Yale’s campus?

Walking down Library Walk and entering Branford courtyard. The surrounding architecture, natural lighting, and foliage - especially in the spring when the cherry blossoms are blooming - are breathtaking.
