What is one thing you love about being a member of the Yale Investments Office team?

I love being part of YIO's culture of mentorship, both as a mentee and a mentor.  As a former intern who got a lot of value from soaking up the wisdom of others, I find it extremely rewarding to help guide the next generation of interns and new members of YIO through their careers. 

What was your favorite class in college?

It’s a toss-up between "Quantum Mechanics" and "American Literature."  Both took me out of my comfort-zone and challenged my worldview – especially after learning about quantum uncertainty or reading Moby Dick!
