Management Consulting

Welcome to my profile! With a rich background as a former Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company and extensive experience in strategic roles at Tishman Speyer, I bring a wealth of knowledge to help you break into management consulting. I was actively involved in recruiting operations for McKinsey, both for specific schools as well as affinity groups (e.g., hispanics). I have successfully coached 10-20 individuals, guiding them through the intricacies of case interviews, behavioral interviews, and resume optimization. My MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business further equips me with the insights needed to elevate your application. Let's connect and craft a winning strategy for your consulting career!

🟢 While there are several key elements to landing an offer (networking, PEI, background), I believe the one most in your control is nailing the cases 🟢 At McKinsey, over the course of three interview seasons, I supported the Recruiting team via >💯 on-campus interviews at dozens of MBA and undergraduate campuses 🟢 During my 2 years at Columbia for my MBA, I practiced (received) the most official cases my 1st year and gave the most official cases my 2nd year 🟢 Outside of the "official" cases through the Management Consulting Association, I received and gave dozens other cases to classmates 🟢 Just like quality repetition prepares you for the case interview, I believe it's prepared me to give cases with direct feedback to anyone preparing for interview season 🟢 Beyond the cases, I'm happy to provide my own thoughts and experiences transparently as someone who spent my summer internship, 2 years as an Associate, and 2.5 years as an Engagement Manager in McKinsey's Dallas Office 🟢 If helpful, I could also shed light on what my path has been since leaving and what I would have done differently (and the same) during my time at McKinsey 🙋🏻‍♂️ Here to help!
