About Travis

I help ambitious professionals position themselves for the next chapter of their careers through thoughtful strategy, compelling storytelling, and practical coaching. Over the past 15+ years, I've built a career across finance, real estate, and strategy, working with organizations including Wells Fargo Securities, Lone Star Funds, Trammell Crow Company, and Trust Neighborhoods. Along the way, I've interviewed with global financial institutions, advised executives and founders, mentored students and early-career professionals, and successfully navigated multiple career pivots of my own. My coaching focuses on MBA admissions, career strategy, interview preparation, résumé development, and personal branding. Whether you're applying to a top graduate program, pursuing a competitive internship, preparing for an investment banking or consulting interview, or making a career transition, I help you develop a clear strategy and communicate your value with confidence. Clients work with me because I go beyond reviewing documents or conducting mock interviews. Together, we'll identify what makes your story compelling, strengthen how you present your experiences, and develop a strategy that aligns with your long-term goals. My objective is not simply to help you earn an admission or an offer—it's to help you build a career you'll be proud of. As a first-generation college student and Carolina Covenant Scholar, I understand the transformative power of mentorship and access to opportunity. Coaching is my way of helping others navigate pivotal moments with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
