Kristen has helped clients get into these companies:
I have helped dozens of people navigate the Bain & Co. internship application process and pre-internship programs application process -- I was part of Bain's first CREW cohort! During college, I held five different internship roles across tech and consulting, and I understand what big firms look for when recruiting undergraduate students. I chose to turn down my Bain & Company full-time offer to work in startup operations, so I'm happy to help you determine if consulting is the right fit. I went from having no idea what a case interview was to landing a Bain offer in <6 weeks! Whether you're looking for help leveling up your case interview skills or you have no idea where to start, I'm here to help! I specialize in helping people simplify their case math approach and ensure their case interviews are non-robotic and authentic.

About Kristen
Growing up on a farm, I knew a lot about raising cows and selling crops, but nothing about tech or consulting. After 5 internships, an international fellowship, and a startup accelerator program, I've fallen in love with building impactful products and programs. Evaluating full-time offers at Bain & Company and Leland, I chose the startup path, and I'm now working full-time at Leland in a strategy and operations role. My passion for helping people have a healthy relationship with technology led me to co-found Ignite, a digital wellness movement that I operate on the side to help people refine their digital habits to be more present and more intentional. I hope that every role I have will help people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. As a coach, I specialize in helping people tell their personal stories, master the art of case frameworks and case math, improve communication clarity, and stay accountable to goals. I take a human, holistic approach to coaching, and above all, I want to help you find work you love.
Why do I coach?
During college, I walked into an info session and met two mentors who would encourage me to apply for programs I never believed would accept me. Those mentors and many others have transformed my life, and they made me want to help others elevate their vision for themselves.
