My coaching style is focused on building a strong rapport with applicants because I recognize how critical the investment banking application process is for them. I aim to establish a friendly and collaborative relationship with my clients, which allows us to work together effectively towards achieving their goals. When it comes to editing, I am prompt and efficient. Typically, I take no more than a few hours to return the edited work to my clients. My general rule is that I will have the edits back within 24 hours, ensuring that there are no delays in the application process. I also make myself available via text and other informal channels, such as email or phone, to ensure clear and prompt communication, which helps us to work more efficiently together.

Former Harvard / UChicago School Captain @ JPM + Seasoned Tech Banker!
My involvement with the investment banking industry began in 2018 when I secured three coveted early investment banking offers from top investment banks (e.g., J.P. Morgan, Barclays) before even stepping foot on campus for my MBA. I also landed multiple fellowships, such as the J.P. Morgan Early Advantage Fellowship, that translate into six-figure bonuses in addition to standard signing bonuses. For the last 3 recruiting cycles, I've leveraged my know-how to help a variety of applicants land investment banking and fellowships offers. At J.P. Morgan, I cover the technology sector in the investment bank and have served as a Harvard and UChicago School Captain for campus recruiting. In the Captain role, I have been heavily involved with interviewing at the firm and have a strong understanding of what it takes to build a compelling profile to land a top investment banking offer. My experience as a coach at the boutique MBA consulting firm Ivy Advisors and SEO Career has further honed my skills in mentorship and coaching. I have helped hundreds of clients achieve their educational and professional goals. I am especially helpful to investment banking applicants who are looking to: ◉ perfect their "why investment banking" story ◉ refine their technical interview skills ◉ land a spot on a coveted technology coverage group ◉ recruit for West Coast opportunities ◉ transition from a different industry ◉ develop a pitch for why they find a company or deal interesting and what the value proposition is there ◉ leverage their unique BIPOC and/or international lived experience ◉ compete for fellowships that provide significant payouts for summer and full-time joiners - especially for women, BIPOC, veterans, and LGBTQIA+ candidates
