Ivy Ridge is a strategic mentorship service for students who want more than what school typically offers.
I work one-on-one with a small number of students to help them explore career paths, build real-world skills, develop sound financial habits, and think critically about the future that they want to create.
A little bit about me — I have a PhD in Applied Science from the College of William & Mary and did a postdoctoral fellowship in the School of Medicine at Yale University. I’ve since built my career at the intersection of science, business, and finance.
Professionally, I’ve helped scale two biotech companies in San Francisco and New York through multiple private fundraising rounds. Personally, I’ve achieved financial independence through investing in public equities, emerging markets, real estate, and small, local businesses.
Ivy Ridge is not tutoring. It’s not test-prep. It’s real-world coaching from someone who’s completed the academic path and built a fulfilling life outside of it. If you’re a parent looking for guidance for your son or daughter, or a student looking for a trusted advisor, please feel free to reach out!
