About Amanda
I’m a graduate of the Wharton School and an incoming Associate at Boston Consulting Group. I will also be completing my MBA at Harvard Business School. As an undergrad, I successfully recruited for consulting, receiving offers from both McKinsey and BCG. Since then, I’ve supported dozens of peers and clients in breaking into top firms—MBB, Bain, and tier-2 consultancies—through personalized, structured case interview prep.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how overwhelming and opaque the consulting recruitment process can be—especially for students without built-in networks or insider guidance. What made the difference for me was mentorship: having people who helped me practice, gave honest feedback, and pushed me to improve. Now I want to offer that same support to others. I’ve seen firsthand how tailored prep can turn uncertainty into confidence.
