Samantha’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

Samantha has helped clients get into these companies:

I’m a former McKinsey Business Analyst with experience on both sides of the table, as a successful applicant and as a recruiter. I know what MBB and other top firms are looking for, and how to help you stand out. While at McKinsey, I led campus recruiting efforts for WashU, where I evaluated hundreds of consulting candidates. I ran case prep workshops, reviewed resumes, and 1:1 coaching sessions to prepare students for the rigorous interview process. Internally, I also led a hiring accelerator for a client where I built the hiring rubrics, screened applications, and advised executives on who to interview and hire, giving me firsthand insight into how firms make hiring decisions. Today, I’m on Google’s Business Operations & Strategy team — a small, high-impact group that drives cross-functional AI strategy across the company. As a coach, I’ve helped 50+ candidates land offers. My background at a top consulting firm and tech companies allow me to help you tell a compelling story, sharpen your candidacy, network efficiently, and build a personalized recruiting game plan. Coaching is deeply personal for me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the mentors who invested in me, and I love paying that forward. Whether you're navigating your first consulting application or pushing for a final-round breakthrough, I’d love to help you land the job.

About Samantha

Hi, I’m Samantha, a strategy-minded problem solver with a passion for mentorship. I coach across two core areas: helping people break into consulting and navigate early career decisions with confidence. I began my career at McKinsey, working across industries and learning firsthand what sets exceptional candidates apart. Then I worked on Google’s Business Operations & Strategy team, where I had the opportunity to work on strategic AI initiatives that shape the company at scale. Currently, I am on Google's Global Ads Partnerships team as a Strategic Partner Development Manager. Outside of work, I’m the person all friends turn to for help with resumes, recruiting strategy, and career crossroads, and I love it. Coaching is one of the most meaningful parts of my week — I’ve had incredible mentors who shaped my path, and I’m committed to doing the same for others. Whether you’re refining your story, learning how to case, or figuring out your next chapter, I’m here to support you however I can.

Why do I coach?

The main reason I coach is the strong impact mentors and advisors have had on me over the years. I am fortunate to have connected with amazing professionals and experts to advise me throughout my academic and professional life, and I would love to pay it forward and help others. I have always loved teaching and mentoring students whether that was by being a TA in college co-teaching an introductory business course subsection, volunteering at the Juvenile Detention Center in St. Louis, or more recently working with high school students on mental health awareness and advocacy at a local nonprofit. I would love to help you make your dreams a reality by landing amazing consulting and job offers!
