File:UIF Biography.docx

I'm a junior studying finance at Menlo College, Silicon Valley's private undergraduate business school. Also, I am studying real estate and anticipate receiving my California Real Estate Salesperson License in Q2-2017. Since completing my paid 2016 summer internship at Brand Capital, a private equity firm, I continue to work on multiple projects for them. I also work on project-based assignments for GSV Asset Management, a venture capital firm, since completing my paid 2015 summer internship. At Menlo, I manage the entrepreneurship club I founded in 2015, the Pioneer Club, an exclusive organization connecting Menlo College alumni and outside corporate sponsors (e.g., such as GSV) to mentor and advise student-entrepreneurs. I authored a published article, 'Obtaining Happiness: A Report from Silicon Valley'; annually volunteer for the Help One Child Foundation as a senior camp counselor for the Signs of Hope Camp for at-risk kids and foster children; and, frequently volunteer for Safe@Home & Rebuilding Together in the San Francisco Bay Area.
