About Alexandra
I help professionals prepare for career transitions, specializing in Amazon interview prep and MBA applications. My approach is built on 12 years of experience navigating my own non-linear path from a liberal arts graduate to a business professional, from financial services to landing an MBA internship and full-time role in big tech, and transitioning from Corporate Finance to Product Management during a 6.5-year tenure at Amazon. I specialize in hearing your experiences and distilling them into stories that align with your aspirations. Whether you are crafting an MBA application or preparing for an Amazon interview, I provide frameworks to help you translate your background into the language that will resonate with hiring organizations and admissions.
Why do I coach?
Interviewing is stressful, especially at Amazon. I want to help make that experience less intimidating and more enjoyable for MBA candidates interviewing for internships and full-time opportunities, as well as industry hires in finance and product management. I was fortunate to have great support from peers and second-year mentors in my MBA program as I was preparing for interviews in corporate finance and tech, and I'd like to offer that support to others to help them land the roles they are excited about as they build their career.
