With a strong educational foundation from Indiana University’s O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, I am prepared to contribute to data-driven decision-making, effective financial management, and operational excellence. During my VC Outreach Summer Internship at KingTide VC, I conducted thorough research to identify promising startup companies for potential investment. I streamlined outreach efforts by developing and implementing automated email campaigns, engaging with over 150+ startups, and increasing response rates. Additionally, I leveraged A/B testing to optimize email strategies for improved engagement.
