How long have you been at NYU?
10 years as of February 2022
Why NYU?
The brand, the location, and the people make NYU a great place to work
What does a normal day look like for you?
It varies, but it largely centers around building financial models, maintaining financial models, and updating/evolving both our short term and long range planning processing. Oh, and lots of reviewing and approving transactions as well!
Do you have a hidden talent?
Not a hidden talent per se, but I am a freelance photographer on the side. Right now I'm shooting a portfolio of retromodded Gameboys as a personal project.
What is your favorite interest or hobby?
Hiking and backcountry camping! I'm particularly fond of camping in the remote areas of the southwest USA. My favorite places have been White Sands National Park in New Mexico, and Reflection Canyon in Utah.
Coffee or Tea?
Double espresso over ice, with a splash of oat milk.
Favorite travel destination:
Somewhere remote, since I get enough city and people here in NYC.
