Ex-McKinsey | 1,000+ Resumes Evaluated | Non-traditional candidates
As a child of immigrants - a Ukrainian mother and an Armenian refugee father - I understand what it's like to have high ambitions without institutional and generational knowledge. I also relate to the non-traditional experience: I joined McKinsey after completing a degree in engineering, with zero business experience. I decided I wanted to become a consultant because I love coaching, empowering others, and solving problems. My mission has always been to alleviate suffering. At McKinsey, I served clients on topics related to education, economic development, and social determinants of health. I was in the top 10% of business analysts, managed teams after 18 months, and was the McKinsey Center for Government Fellow in 2023. I also have supported 700+ individuals in crisis as a volunteer counselor at Crisis Text Line. My experiences have reaffirmed that I do my best work when I'm working with individuals 1-on-1 to help them overcome obstacles.
