ML: A lot has happened since Carleton! The journey of learning started at Mistral Venture Partners, a venture capital firm focused on seed stage investments, as an analyst. I fell in love with the entrepreneurial spirit and interacting with groups taking ideas to the next level in new or disruptive spaces.
