About Jay
Hi! My name is Jay and I'm originally from Buena Park, CA. I'm a second year MBA student at Harvard Business School and went to undergrad at Boston College. At HBS, I co-chaired the VCPE Conference and served as an admissions representative. Prior to school, I worked at Blackstone investing in private equity. Before that, I was in healthcare investment banking at J.P. Morgan. I’ve been a career coach at both HBS and Boston College, and I truly enjoy helping people find their best fit career. Focus areas: MBA interviews, PE interviews, IB interviews, technical prep, fit and storytelling, networking strategy, offer strategy
