About Rachel

My career has taught me that success comes from both strong execution and strong storytelling — and I coach clients to master both. I’ve built my career across investment banking, private equity, venture capital, and entrepreneurship — experiences that allow me to coach clients pursuing roles in IB, PE, VC, MBA admissions, and early-stage startups. I began in investment banking at Citi and Morgan Stanley, later joined a multibillion-dollar private equity fund as an investment professional, moved into VC investing, and earned my MBA from Wharton before founding a startup accepted into eight accelerator programs. Throughout these roles, I’ve recruited and interviewed candidates, evaluated founders, presented to investors, and navigated some of the most competitive hiring processes firsthand. Alongside my finance and startup work, I’ve continued to strengthen my communication and storytelling skills through years of performing and speaking — experience that now enhances how I coach clients on public speaking, pitch delivery, storytelling strategy, and executive presence. My foundation in coaching began early as a writing tutor at Georgetown’s Writing Center, where I helped students articulate ideas clearly and confidently — something I now do for professionals at every level. Across all these chapters, one theme has remained constant: I help people communicate who they are and where they’re going. My work combines analytical insight with strong narrative instincts so clients can move into interviews, pitches, and new chapters with clarity, confidence, and a compelling story. Whether you’re pursuing IB, PE, VC, an MBA, a career pivot, or stronger communication skills, I help you bring both your thinking and your story into alignment so you can build a career — and life — you genuinely want.
