About

MBA candidate and Dean’s Scholar at Yale School of Management with a background in strategic finance, M&A, commercial strategy, and investment analysis across energy and infrastructure.

Most recently, I helped scale Solect Energy, a Pattern Energy company and the Northeast’s leading commercial and industrial solar and storage platform. I designed and launched fixed-price front-of-the-meter PPAs, a new commercial offering that solved a tax equity financing barrier and opened a market the company had not previously served. It grew into a standing line of business. I also led diligence, valuation, and underwriting on solar and storage acquisitions, including a developer platform I took to the investment committee, and drove the market-entry analysis behind expansion into six new states across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

At Yale I’m deepening the finance and strategy side of that work. My coursework spans SOM, Yale Law School, the School of the Environment, and the Jackson School of Global Affairs, focused on corporate finance, energy markets, and the policy and regulatory dynamics shaping the energy transition.
