Why do I coach?
Interviews and applications are storytelling, and storytelling is what I love most. I loved the introspection and reflection that went through the preparation for interviewing - finding the narrative thread in a product, a strategy, or a person, then shaping it into something compelling. My own path to Wharton and Google APM was full of confusion. I didn't know anyone in these spaces, but I did have people who believed in me and gave me the bits and pieces that I used to navigate the applications and interviews. I want to be that person for others: learning from my own rejections and learnings I have gone through over the years, I hope to show you what actually matters, especially in a landscape this competitive. Most of the time, what you need is already there. My job is to help pull it out, build a plan around it, and work backwards from your goal until it happens.
