Decide with Confidence. Study with Intention. Succeed on your terms. Thinking about the CPA? Or maybe you're already knee deep in exam prep and starting to wonder if this is really the path for you. Whether you're all in, on the fence, or on your third retake and burned out, this coaching package is designed to help you make clear, confident, and sustainable decisions- not just about the exam, but about your future as well.

Lessons Learned from Getting my CPA
Hello and welcome to my profile! I have a rather complicated route to where I got today, with a background in management consulting in a variety of subject matters, industries, and countries. For the last few years, I have been developing my skills at a certain (green) Big 4 Consultancy, working in Washington, DC, New York City, and London. Over the years, I have honed in on my interests, passions, and skillsets, moving from audit to internal controls / financial consulting to human capital consulting to working internally on a global team, and want to help you do the same! My journey began at PwC, where I developed a strong foundation in public sector consulting, before moving to my current company and trying out both private sector human capital consulting and working internally with our member firms around the world. Over the years, I've successfully coached multiple people in my company, assisting them to find roles internationally and giving general career advice, coached students interested in consulting as a profession, and acted as a mentor and orientation facilitator for new joiners at my company to share my experiences and prepare them for what's to come. My coaching style is very casual yet organized. I want it to feel like you're confiding in a friend, while also feeling supported by the strategies I'm providing and anecdotes I bring to the table. Whether it's talking through the intricacies of the consulting application process, helping you put a plan in place for applying to work internationally, telling you tips and tricks I've learned from studying for the CPA, talking through what it means to be neurodiverse in today's professional world, or just bouncing ideas back and forth and being a listening ear during your life transitions, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect!
