About

If you're looking for help getting to into BYU or other Common App schools, I'd love to chat! I can help you with: - A bullet proof application strategy - Ding analysis/Candidacy evaluation - Essays that admissions readers actually remember - Letters of Recommendation (who to ask & how to prep them) - 180 resume revamp My clients have landed spots at BYU and the Marriott School of Business, and from business school to top companies. I've been on both sides of this process. I navigated BYU admissions, a competitive business school application, and the internship-to-offer pipeline firsthand. Now I work in Expert Success at Leland, where narrative and personal branding is my day job. I'm your expert's expert for branding. I spend every day helping Leland coaches sharpen how they present themselves and connect with the right people. Reach out and let's get started!

Ella’s Career Coaching Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

AI Certified

Completed Level 1 of Leland’s AI Builder Program

I've spent the last few years at the intersection of recruiting, mentorship, and career strategy, and I've seen what actually makes a difference for people early in their careers - especially in an internship. As a mentor in BYU's HR Program, I worked directly with students on internship strategy, target company lists, and the application process from start to finish. I've helped students land roles at EY and get into BYU's Accounting Program by focusing on two things: a resume that is clean and strategic, and a story that actually sounds like them. At Leland, I've recruited and hired both interns and coaches. I've sat on the other side of the table and I know what stands out in an interview. How you present yourself matters. I converted from intern to full-time employee while finishing my degree, and I did it by being intentional about how I showed up, took ownership, and made myself impossible to overlook. That is exactly what I help you figure out. Whether you are trying to land your first internship, break into a competitive program, or just figure out how to position yourself, I will help you build a strategy that is specific to you and actually works.

Why do I coach?

I work in the coaching industry for a living, which means I've had a front-row seat to what happens when someone finally gets the right support. I've seen the "I got in" emails and texts sent to coaches, and watched students land internships they thought were completely out of reach. I've drunk the kool-aid of mentorship and reaching dreams since working here at Leland, and want to give back in the same way. Students that succeed are ones that want it - not just the ones with great backgrounds and perfect GPAs. Shoot me a note if that sounds like you!
