As a first-generation college student who lacked connections to the corporate world and lacked a network of peers recruiting for consulting roles, I felt that I navigated recruiting in the dark. Despite this, I landed interviews at all of the MBB firms in competitive offices without referrals and received offers from BCG and Capital One almost completely through self-preparation. My successful approach to case interview preparation involved identifying weaknesses and responding with highly-targeted preparation, which is something I believe I could help others with! A part of my background that sets me apart is my almost decade of educational experience. Throughout high school, I worked at an after-school education center and during college, I led remedial economic study sessions for students struggling the most. I know how to meet students at any level and I'm excellent at providing feedback in an honest, but non-intimidating way! I also love going above and beyond by creating tailored preparation materials, such as hand-creating practice consulting cases tailored to a specific candidate's needs.
