Finance (Concentration in Alternative Asset Management)
Career Background:
I initially interned with Jefferies in their Energy Investment Banking group down in Houston, TX, before transitioning to FTI Consulting's Corporate Finance and Restructuring group here in Dallas following graduation from SMU in May 2023. Since then, I have joined Valesco in March of 2025 and have been excited to get going with the team and learn as much as I can in this new role.
What am I doing – describe your current role and objectives:
My role primarily focuses around new deal execution and portfolio monitoring, mainly oriented towards managing our live-deal processes and performing analysis on new opportunities, hopefully leading to a successful close.
Connections trying to make:
I am excited to meet like-minded SMU alum in the DFW area and hear about what has brought them success in their careers & life following graduation from SMU.
