My journey started with a number of internships, which are one of the building blocks to any successful career in the modern age. My first one was with Bank of America when I was a senior in high school; that was followed by an internship at the Securities and Exchange Commission in New York City when I was a freshman at Fordham University. My biggest break was when I landed a part-time job as a financial analyst at Take-Two Interactive Software (the creator of Grand Theft Auto), where I worked for nearly a year during college. That was an incredible experience, and one that ultimately led me to be accepted into a summer Treasury Services program at J.P. Morgan - where I started my full-time career.

One of my greatest passions is storytelling, which became my reason for starting Orpheus. I began writing fiction when I was 15 and fell in love with telling great stories. Eventually, I learned how to apply that passion to my career by articulating my own journey to hiring managers, working with engineers to build products from the ground up, and pitching the “why” of my projects to senior management at my companies. Now, I want to use those experiences to help others chart their own path.
