I'm a former Associate Partner at McKinsey (12 years, energy & industrials), where I conducted 50+ real interviews: case and PEI, from entry-level Analysts to Engagement Managers, across both generalist and expert tracks. Per McKinsey's internal calibration reports, I scored stricter than the average interviewer, so I know exactly where the bar sits, and I won't tell you you're ready when you're not. I'm also a trained executive coach. That combination matters: most coaches can tell you what went wrong in a case. My job is to change how you perform under pressure incl. structure, math, business judgment, fit stories, and the top-down presence partners expect — so the fix sticks on interview day. Sessions are built around a first diagnostic mock, then a focused plan on your actual gaps — no generic framework drilling.

As an incoming Summer Associate at BCG and former Summer Analyst at McKinsey, I bring firsthand experience successfully landing 2/3 MBB offers coming from a non-target school and non-traditional background, in the most recent 2024-2026 recruiting cycles. I've gone through to final round interview processes for all three MBB firms, have administered 100+ cases, and successfully coached peers to secure MBB final round interviews and full time offers. As Executive Vice President of the premier UCI branch of 180 Degrees Consulting, I've personally developed an intensive 8-week training curriculum for incoming consultant cohorts, providing 1-1 skill development in frame-working, market-sizing, case math, and behavioral interviews for 30+ individuals. I continue to provide tailored career coaching, resume review, and case interview practice to active club members. I've spent 6 years tutoring advanced K-12 students for rigorous college placement, AP, and IB exams and have developed systems for coaching people with different learning styles. I've worked with several neurodivergent students with autism, ADHD, and OCD to leverage their unique strengths and achieve competitive goals.
