Alacrity helped me finally put words to things I kind of understood but could never clearly explain. It breaks down soft skills into simple, structured insights that suddenly make everything click. I used to rely on being free-flowing, but now I feel guided and intentional when I speak. It’s like turning vague instincts into real, impactful communication.

David is a great listener, and gives clear and honest feedback. He's helped me to show up more effectively in professional settings.

About Me

I’m David—a graduate of Columbia University (BS) and Wharton (MBA), with 15 years of professional experience across finance and technology. My passion lies in helping young people build confidence, communicate effectively, and not let self-doubt hold them back from their goals. I’ve been fortunate to have great mentors in my own life, and I bring that same spirit of support and encouragement into every conversation I have with students.

This soft skills program is part of Alacrity, a project I co-founded to help bridge the gap between school and real life by teaching the practical skills that don’t usually make it into the classroom. Together, Albert (my co-founder) and I give you the tools and guidance to take steps towards a future you’re excited about.
