About Jim
I am a New Orleans native, a Yale College and Yale Law School graduate, and ex-Bain consultant. As someone who has successfully navigated some of the most competitive academic and professional admissions processes in the United States, I understand the importance of making my story stand out. Let me help yours stand out, too.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I understand the importance of mentorship. At each stage of my career, I benefitted from inside knowledge that I would never have received from conducting only my own research. I am here to help my clients save time and energy by sharing the insight that I have gained by climbing up the ladder myself, one rung at a time.
