About Irena
I'm here to make the world of consulting and application preparation more accessible. As someone who pivoted into consulting from a non-traditional background in Journalism, I recognize how hard it is to know what firms are after and how to differentiate yourself from the crowd. Together, let's break down what firms or schools are after, find where you shine, and polish up any weak spots. I love seeing people thrive, and I'm excited to help you reach your goals. Let's dive in and make it happen! I can help you with: - MBA or Undergrad essay editing, recommender strategy, and more! - Resume reviews - MBA Interview Prep - specifically the Wharton TBD - Consulting behavioral interview prep - Consulting case prep
Why do I coach?
I truly believe in the power of mentorship and paying it forward. Throughout my own career journey, I've been fortunate to have had invaluable guidance from mentors who've shaped my path and gave me the confidence I needed to achieve my goals. For example, during my time at Bain, I really focused on investing in others and community building through my involvement in the Asians at Bain affinity group, leading the social committee, as well as co-leading Northwestern undergrad recruiting where I focused on strengthening our diversity and inclusion efforts. Those experiences helped me realize my passion for coaching and mentorship. That's why I eagerly embrace every chance, formal or informal, to mentor and support others.
