New York, New York, United States
I have just earned my Masters in Theoretical Mathematics with an eye towards a PhD, pursuing my interest in topology and number theory. While I study, I am looking for roles in my traditional area of expertise: strategic finance and operations consulting for growing business. I have recently moved back to NYC after living in Copenhagen for some years, having completed a project with miinto, an ecommerce fashion marketplace, to improve strategic finance processes after experiences in M&A advisory and consulting growing SaaS startups in both Copenhagen and London. I received my BA from Macaulay Honors College at Queens, with majors in Mathematics, Finance and Economics. In between my undergraduate degree and graduate enrollment, I've worked in various corporate finance / business strategy roles that synthesized my strong people skills, problem solving and analytical abilities, while giving me the opportunity to develop my financial modeling and valuation skills.
