Maclaine’s MBA Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Hi, I'm Maclaine Fields. I’m currently an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School (Class of 2026). I graduated from Harvard College in 2020 with a degree in Economics. Before HBS, I worked at McKinsey & Company, where I focused on consumer, retail, and higher education. I did a rotation with McKinsey's economic research arm, the McKinsey Global Institute. I also did an externship with the strategy team at lululemon. I’ve coached individuals who have landed offers at McKinsey and other top firms and gained admission to leading MBA programs including HBS and Stanford GSB. I am especially passionate about helping applicants tell an authentic story, whether you are following a traditional path or carving out your own. I want to help candidates craft applications that showcase their individuality and reflect their personal goals. If you're looking for thoughtful, personalized support throughout your MBA journey, I would love to work with you.

About Maclaine
Hi, I'm Maclaine Fields. I'm from San Francisco, CA. I graduated from Harvard College in 2020 with a degree in Economics. At Harvard, I worked as a research assistant at an economics research lab, was a Peer Advising Fellow, and captained the Women's Volleyball team. At graduating, I joined McKinsey & Company, where I focused on consumer, retail, and higher education. I also did a rotation with McKinsey's economic research arm, as well as an externship with the strategy team at lululemon. I am currently an MBA Candidate at Harvard Business School. In my free time, I enjoy running and traveling.
Why do I coach?
I wouldn't be where I am today without mentorship. From peers helping me ace the consulting interview, to MBA students running mock interviews, I'm incredibly grateful for the coaching I've received throughout my life. I coach because I want to help other students and young professionals achieve their biggest goals!
