I haven’t tweeted in a while, but this felt important to share. I’ve moved to San Francisco to spend the summer with the venture and growth equity team at @OTPPinfo!
At Teachers’ Venture Growth, we invest directly in innovative, late stage companies that are using technology to shape a better future. Some of my favorite portfolio companies are @SpaceX 🚀 @EpicGames 👾 and @Canva 🎨
I’m so happy to share that yesterday was my first day in the MBA program at @Wharton! I’ve been in Philadelphia since last week and it still hasn’t sunk in. I’m humbled to contribute to my family’s legacy as the first to attend an Ivy League school.
I know that this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of so many people. I am so grateful to my family for their support through the application process, and I know I wouldn’t be here without my recommenders Alistair Mitchell, Luke McCormick, and @blakeHcaldwell.
I’m excited for what the future brings and hope to share my experiences here on Twitter as my time at Wharton progresses! #WhartonProud
