I typically work with 2–3 clients at a time to keep things focused. You’ll see a lot of availability — I don’t sleep much, and I like being accessible when others aren’t. Whether you’re cramming before an interview or quietly updating your resume at midnight, I’ll probably be online.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve been where a lot of nontraditional candidates start — unsure how to tell my story, and not sure I belonged in the room. I studied English, had little finance experience, and landed a consulting offer by learning how to frame what I did bring. I help others do the same: refining resumes, running mock cases, and navigating tough pivots into consulting, VC, and beyond. Whether you’re breaking in or figuring out what’s next, I’m here to help you get clear and get moving.
