About Tory
Hi, I'm Tory! I have worked in tech for the past 15+ years in Eng and Product roles & received my MBA at HBS. I am passionate about guiding people through their career and academic goals, including resume/LinkedIn reviews, application reviews, and mock interviews. I am happy to discuss your goals + see if I am a good fit via an intro call. Hope to meet with you soon!
Why do I coach?
As a first-generation college graduate, I look back and realize how important coaching and mentoring can be for career and academic goals (and how I could've avoided many pitfalls with it!). Having learned so much through achieving my own career + grad school goals spanning 20+ years, and connecting with many wonderful figures in the MBA and tech world, I am excited to share my insights and guide people through their own personal journeys.
