About Emma

***Please do not schedule directly on my calendar without first messaging me and receiving confirmation first! Now accepting new clients**** Nice to meet you! My name is Emma, and I live in Cambridge, MA, where I am pursuing my MBA at HBS. Prior to HBS, I worked in private equity, investment banking, and strategic finance, all with a consumer and retail industry focus. I have benefitted immensely from the mentors in my life (this was my HBS essay topic!) and I would love to work with you and continue to pay that back. Whether you are aiming to get accepted to your MBA program of choice or would instead prefer to talk private equity or investment banking recruiting tactics, I am here to help. Please see below for my areas of focus : MBA Applications I applied to HBS and Wharton in 2019 (R1) and was accepted into both schools. I also took the GMAT while working full-time in PE. I would be happy to coach on any of the below topics: - Full-time MBA admissions strategy - Resume review - Essay ideation process - Essay revisions - Interview preparation PE & IB Resume Review and Interview Prep I broke into investment banking (and subsequently private equity) coming from a liberal arts background (Hamilton College is my alma matter). I have mentored 20+ undergrads and current investment bankers (via WSO and word-of-mouth referrals) on landing their dream IB or PE jobs and can help with the following: - Investing or consumer-retail specific career advice - IB and PE technical interview prep (NOT cases) - Resume reviews Outside of work, I love spending time with friends. I love cooking for people, working out, and reading and writing (specifically have been reading essay collections as of late). A theme around authenticity and ownership emerged during my HBS interview, and I think this is a reason why I was accepted. I can't wait to learn more about you and help you translate your own authentic experience into a compelling MBA application!
