About Kiera
I was voted a top 10 coach on Leland for 2025. I'm a former BCG consultant, now at Harvard Business School. My coaching has had an almost perfect success rate so far in helping applicants land MBB offers. Candidates I've coached this year have landed roles at BCG, Bain and McKinsey. While at BCG, I led internal recruiting efforts and gave resume and cover letter feedback to 50+ prospective applicants. Under Leland, I've coached many to successful MBB offers. I also interviewed with McKinsey and Bain and can speak to the different interview styles and what each looks for. In addition, I am a professional writer and can be helpful with resumes, cover letters, and constructing strong application essays for MBA programs, colleges, and professional roles.
