Zahra’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Consultant

Over the last seven years, I've coached countless clients through how to network to land a consulting interview and then nail that interview. I landed in Consulting from a liberal arts background - I was a Middle East Studies and Behavioral Science major - and also have experience making sure that students outside of quant-heavy backgrounds feel comfortable approaching the quantitative side of these interviews. Folks I've coached have been successful at landing at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain.

Zahra can help with:

Cover Letters

Behavioral Interview Prep

Case Math

Networking Strategy

Case Interview Prep

About Zahra

I spent three years in the Boston Consulting Group's social impact practice, after which I thought I was going to go to the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Harvard Kennedy School for a joint Masters in Public Policy (MPP)/MBA. After enrolling and spending my first year in the MPP, I realized that I was more interested in the law and how it impacted our government than I was in focusing further on business. With the help of some great mentors, I pivoted into the legal field where I now focus on public interest and legal aid work. I am currently in my third year of a four year joint JD/MPP at the Harvard Law and Kennedy Schools.

Why do I coach?

I grew up outside the US and was unfamiliar with many of the systems here. Navigating undergrad applications, graduate schools, and job opportunities was only something I could have done well with the help of great mentors that knew the systems I wanted to work in well and were willing to put in the time to support me as I worked through them. I get a lot of joy out of providing that same support to others in my capacity as a coach!
