As a former Senior Manager at Bain & Company (Private Equity Group), I was actively involved in recruiting and interviewing candidates, which honed my skills in identifying what top institutions look for in applicants. My experience extends to leading investment teams at ACV Capital. Let's work together to make your college dreams a reality—reach out to start your journey today!
