Jackie’s College Qualifications
Coaches professionally
I’m an MIT alum (Class of 2014), was also accepted to Harvard, and previously served as an interviewer for MIT undergraduate admissions. Beyond admissions strategy, I understand firsthand the academic intensity, pressure, and identity shifts that come with entering highly competitive environments. As a certified coach (CPCC, ACC) with a background in strategy consulting, I support students not just in presenting themselves authentically during admissions, but also in building confidence, self-awareness, and resilience as they transition into college. My approach helps students not only stand out in the interview but also clarify what motivates them, manage pressure and expectations, and step into the next chapter with intention rather than fear.

About Jackie
I’m Jackie, and I’m thrilled you’re here! I’m a certified coach passionate about guiding high achievers like you - people who’ve checked the boxes of success but feel stuck or like something’s missing. My mission is to help you rediscover your spark, build a deeper connection with yourself and those around you, and channel your drive into a life that feels authentic, vibrant, and deeply fulfilling. My path to coaching started in a world that looked successful from the outside - a degree from MIT, a strategy consulting at a top-tier firm, a decade of corporate achievements. And yet I felt like I was running on a treadmill that I couldn't remember stepping onto. I saw it in others too - brilliant individuals who felt stuck or unfulfilled despite their sparkling resumes. That dissonance lit a fire in me to do something different, something real. Coaching became my way to bridge that gap. I trained with the Co-Active Training Institute, the leading global coach training organization, learning to listen deeply and ask the questions that cut through the noise. I obtained my ACC credential from the International Coaching Federation. And I founded Vibrant Ventures Coaching to pursue this calling. I specialize in helping high achievers who feel disconnected despite their successes - whether it’s in your career, relationships, or sense of self. My coaching isn’t about chasing more goals or fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about peeling back the layers to reveal the vibrant, authentic you that’s been there all along. I believe your intensity, your drive, is a gift - one that can light up the world when it’s rooted in authenticity. My vision is to help you build a life that’s not just impressive, but deeply yours. I bring a calm, grounded energy to create the safe space for honest conversations, gentle challenges, and those "aha" moments that stick with you. Through our time together, I want you to feel seen, heard, and empowered to channel your ambition into what sets your heart on fire. Let's rediscover your spark together! Reach out, and let's start a conversation about what's possible for you. The world needs your unique light, and I'm honored to help you let it shine.
Why do I coach?
Coaching did no less than change my life. I started out as a skeptic but through my own coaching journey, I was able to rewrite the stories that had been holding me back for decades. I didn't just learn about myself - I learned how to learn about myself. Because of this work I'm able to show up in my life and with the people I care about with greater authenticity and compassion, lit up from within by real fulfillment. It's like being able to see a whole new spectrum of color - and my purpose is to help you unlock your own unique spectrum too.
