I started my career at McKinsey & Company, where I was a top-rated consultant throughout my tenure. Alongside client work, I partnered closely with our recruiting team and even worked on an internal recruiting project, which gave me deep insight into exactly what consulting firms look for in candidates. I know the ins and outs of both the personal fit interview and the case interview, and I can share simple, effective frameworks that help you to sound highly structured without needing to memorize dozens of them. I’m also happy to run through live cases with you. My coaching style is direct and focused - I’ll zero in on the feedback that actually matters to McKinsey and similar firms, so you’re not overwhelmed, but instead equipped with the skills you need to stand out, get your foot in the door, and land an offer.

I’m a former Project Leader at BCG with deep experience in consulting and helping candidates succeed in consulting interviews. I’ve served as an interviewer for associate roles and have also delivered 30+ mock interviews for prospective candidates. I also served as one of the two Wharton MBA recruiting leads for my office, where I conducted coffee chats, coordinated outreach, supported interview prep, and partnered with firm leadership to identify and prepare top candidates. Before BCG, I received my MBA from Wharton where I was an active member of the Consulting Club. During my second year, I served as a case coach, running 50+ practice cases with first-year students. Across both experiences, I’ve developed a sharp sense for what makes candidates stand out—structured thinking, clear communication, and calm under pressure. Whether you’re targeting MBB or boutique firms, I bring a perspective that combines interviewer insights with proven coaching experience.

I bring a unique blend of real-world consulting experience, strategic insight, and a deep passion for mentorship. As a former healthcare strategy professional who successfully pivoted into Boston Consulting Group (BCG), I understand firsthand what top firms seek in exceptional candidates—and how to stand out in a competitive recruiting process. Currently pursuing my dual MBA and MS in Design Innovation (MMM) at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, I’ve also served as a trusted career coach and mentor at both Kellogg and Carnegie Mellon University, helping 30+ students land consulting offers at leading firms. My coaching combines structured problem-solving, storytelling, and emotional intelligence to help clients not only excel in interviews but also develop the mindset of confident, thoughtful consultants ready to make an impact.

Welcome to my profile! I’m a former McKinsey Digital consultant who helps candidates break into top-tier consulting firms with confidence and clarity. Over the past few years, I’ve coached more than 40 aspiring consultants, from undergraduates to experienced professionals, who went on to secure offers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, and other leading firms. Drawing on my McKinsey experience in digital strategy, product management, and client delivery, I teach candidates how to think, communicate, and problem-solve like consultants. My coaching combines insider frameworks, live case simulations, and tailored feedback to sharpen analytical rigor, structure, and executive presence. Beyond interview prep, I help clients craft powerful resumes and personal stories that stand out in a competitive recruiting process. My goal is to not only help you land the offer, but to equip you with the skills and confidence to thrive once you do.

Securing a role at a top-tier firm requires more than just intelligence; it requires a mastery of the "consulting lens." During my pre-MBA recruiting, I achieved a 100% interview and offer rate, securing invitations and subsequent offers from both McKinsey and Bain in San Francisco. This success wasn't accidental, it was the result of a rigorous, structured approach to case and behavioral interviews that I now use to help my clients stand out in the most competitive talent pools in the world. My coaching focuses on the two pillars of the consulting application: Technical Case Mastery and High-Impact Behavioral Storytelling. I move beyond generic frameworks to help you develop "day-one" intuition, teaching you how to structure complex problems with the nuance of a previous strategy associate at Google. For behavioral rounds, we will refine your experiences into compelling narratives that demonstrate leadership, grit, and the specific qualities BCG, Bain, and McKinsey recruiters are trained to look for. Whether you are a pre-MBA candidate or an experienced hire, I will provide the tactical feedback and strategic positioning necessary to turn an interview invite into a signed offer.

I've spent 20+ years as a management consultant and strategic advisor to Fortune 500 companies across pharma, life sciences, financial services, technology, and CPG – including AT&T, IBM, American Express, Xerox, MetLife, Prudential, McGraw-Hill, Chrysler, Colgate-Palmolive, Campbell Soup, and over 100 other organizations. I help consultants, aspiring consultants, and business leaders navigate the real work of strategy – how to frame the right problem, build a compelling business case, present to executive stakeholders, win new business, and deliver results that actually move the needle. I've done this across industries, company sizes, and engagement types, from boutique agencies to Omnicom Health Group. I also help professionals build and grow independent consulting practices – pricing, positioning, client acquisition, and building frameworks that scale.
