PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.

Questions to ask yourself:

Would the student find this person inspiring?

Dennis F. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Dennis is currently a senior at Columbia University pursuing a double-concentration in Business Management & Psychology as well as an A&R scout for RCA Records under the Sony Music brand. He was born in Oakland, California and grew up playing Ice Hockey from a young age, which directed his academic and athletic trajectory towards attending boarding school at the Taft School in Watertown, CT. After applying and being accepted to Columbia, Dennis chose to prioritize his academic career over hockey, and decided to attend Columbia to begin pursuing his professional passions. He began his series of internships with J.P. Morgan in Equity Research before moving to Goldman Sachs during his sophomore summer within the investment banking division. After a full year and a half of gaining industry knowledge, Dennis chose to set his sights on the music industry which led him to an internship with Warner Music within the Royalties & Rights Management division, before transitioning to his current position with RCA on the talent search side. In his free time, Dennis DJ's at a number of nightclubs in NYC, is a learn-to-skate coach with the Hockey in Harlem program, and manages Black Hibiscus, an up and coming musician in the Alternative R&B space.
