Jasper’s Career Coaching Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

Welcome! I have built a set of high-level experiences in multiple domains and want to help other like-minded individuals do the same. My experience spans roles across government, law, politics, military, and more. I am currently a Stanford JD/MBA candidate and Knight-Hennessy Scholar (providing a full-ride plus stipend). Before law and business school, I most recently served as a Military Fellow at McKinsey & Company, a Military Social Aide at The White House, and fighter jet aviator within the U.S. Navy. I also have two years experience working in the intelligence community. In college, I was able to win the top Diplomacy Award at World Model United Nations in Rome, study abroad on a full-ride scholarship at Fudan University in Shanghai, China, and complete a degree in Computer Science and Economics. I also interned at The White House on the National Security Team in the Office of Presidential Personnel, responsible for political appointments in the administration. I understand the intricacies of navigating competitive career paths and academic environments. My unique journey has equipped me with the strategic skills to help you achieve your career goals in multiple domains. Let's work together to craft a strategy that leverages your strengths and propels you to success. Reach out to start your journey today!

About Jasper

In addition to my professional experience, some sundry accolades include top graduate of my flight school class, grand prize winner of a national history essay contest, and the Diplomacy Award at World Model United Nations in Rome. In my free time I'm an FAA-rated Commercial high-performance and complex pilot; I fly general aviation aircraft out of nearby airports for fun. When I can, I travel internationally to scuba diving spots as I love the otherworldly experience that the ocean offers. I have an intellectual interest in art and ideology—I collect and frame physical pieces of interest and read books across the political and religious landscapes.

Why do I coach?

Coaching matters to me because I understand how challenging it can be to navigate admissions processes from scratch. No one in my family worked in the military, politics, consulting, or law, so applying and planning to join top-tier institutions—like the fighter jet community, the White House, McKinsey, and Stanford Law and GSB—were all new experiences for me. I had to actively seek out answers and strategies to succeed in each. While I often struggled to find guidance, the few mentors I did find were instrumental in my success. I aim to be that guide for others, simplifying the process for those I mentor and sharing the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
