About Madelin
I recently completed my internship at Bain & Company and will be returning there full-time after graduating in Civil Engineering. Whether you're coming from a non-traditional background or just looking to break into top-tier consulting, I’d love to help.
Why do I coach?
I know firsthand what it’s like to navigate the recruiting process from a "non-target" major. I’m here to help you translate your unique technical skills into the consulting world, nail the casing process, and tell a story that stands out.
