Stepping into the jungle

Hi everyone!

I am currently a strategy and planning analyst (and have been for 4 years) in Houston working for a large Independent E&P company. I have had the opportunity to work on some large acquisitions and divestitures, but would like exposure to more. I am heading back to get my MBA this Fall (will be 29 when I graduate) with an interest in I-Banking and Private Equity.

I look forward to learning more about Energy IB and PE, as well as other potential options.
