About Jill
I'm an alumni of Fuqua School of Business (full ride), McKinsey (3 years San Francisco office) and Cornell University. Admitted to Haas & Tuck with funding (only applied to 3 schools). Work Experience: - McKinsey with focus in B2B tech and Marketing & Sales - Currently Director of Product Marketing at fast-growth tech start-up - Non-traditional background in international development with Middle East regional specialty - Duke Career Fellow placing 3 students in top consulting roles; Informally mentored 5 people with business school applications (all top 15 schools) - Coached 25+ people for consulting interviews and case prep As a coach, I'm committed to helping you achieve your goal, from school fit to resume edits. I'm experienced in helping people with "non-traditional" backgrounds translate their story for an MBA audience via essays and resume. I'm a strong writer (and in marketing!) so I can help craft persuasive and cohesive application stories. I also love helping people find their right MBA "fit" depending on their personal and professional goals. If you're interested in consulting, transitioning to traditional business, tech, or getting a scholarship, I'm here to help!
