A gem of a person. A guide to me when I barely had any experience in the industry. Apart from professional queries, you can get guidance on what to expect and gow to deal with stress.

Kevin helped me make the jump from a small sustainability consultancy to ERM, and his mentorship was exactly what I needed: direct, honest, and focused on what actually works. He gave me strategic advice on how to position myself differently with each interviewer and how to frame my career trajectory as intentional rather than scattered. Most valuably, he helped me articulate my finance + sustainability background as exactly what ERM's team was looking for - someone who could bring quant rigor to ESG advisory work, not just another sustainability generalist. What I've valued most over our ongoing relationship is Kevin's optimization mindset. He thinks strategically about positioning, shares best practices from his own experience across finance and ESG, and pushes you to be clearer and more rigorous in how you present yourself. Our conversations have been informal and ad-hoc, but consistently valuable. If you want someone who'll give you straight feedback and help you level up without the fluff, Kevin's your person.

Tyler was an invaluable mentor throughout my MBA application process. He didn’t just help me with the mechanics of building a strong resume and essays—he took the time to understand my background, goals, and the bigger picture of my transition from the military to the private sector. As a fellow veteran, he offered thoughtful, honest guidance on career paths, expectations post-service, and how to position myself for top programs. His coaching was practical, personalized, and grounded in real experience. I genuinely don’t think I would have been admitted to Wharton without his mentorship. I can’t recommend Tyler highly enough to anyone pursuing an MBA or navigating a major career transition.

My session with Samantha was one of the most valuable hours I spent preparing for my McKinsey interviews. As an experienced interviewer, she offered incisive, actionable feedback that significantly strengthened both my casing approach and my PEI stories. She was also incredibly empathetic throughout the process, and I’m truly grateful for her guidance and support.

I worked with Allie on brainstorming and perfecting my McKinsey PEI stories. Allie was super helpful with her feedback, and I was able to get an offer after just working with her for one session. I would recommend Allie for anyone who is interview-prepping!

I wrote my GMAT whilst I was 38 weeks pregnant and my 2nd child arrived within a week after that. So you can only imagine how much time I had / didn’t have as I completed my MBA applications. Jessica turned what would have been a stressful journey into one of the most positive experiences of my life. I decided to focus on applying to only one top school and not only was I admitted, I also received a full scholarship. I’m more than happy to recommend her to anyone. You’re in safe hands!

I worked with Tiffany at Elektra this past summer. During which, she was an exceptional mentor, approaching our work together with a focus not just on getting the work done, but on helping me build confidence, clarity, and strong operating instincts. She consistently took the time to understand my goals, offer thoughtful feedback, and share practical frameworks for navigating startup environments and growing in strategy and biz ops roles. Beyond the day-to-day, Tiffany also went out of her way to support my broader career reflection—helping me think through long-term goals and how my experience fit into a bigger picture. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, invested coach!

Marie was my mentor from the PMA mentorship program in 2023. During a time when I was struggling to find peers or faculty members who could relate to my career path from UX design to Product, Marie came into my life as someone who has walked down that exact path. Hearing their experiences and honest, no-BS advice gave me much clarity and relief. Marie helped me with my resume and portfolio, which helped me get an internship at a startup, where I am now a permanent member doing what I love. Marie is a mentor and coach dedicated to their students’ success.

I applied to Stanford's GSB and was fortunate to get an interview. I reached out to Michael and he immediately responded and got on a Zoom that same day to share his experiences at the school, walk me through the interview and prep me so I was ready for any question. He went above and beyond to share personal anecdotes and challenge my thinking. I am proud to say that I was admitted to GSB, due in large part to Michael's interview prep and he still remains a friend and mentor. I would 100% recommend him for any application preparation you are considering.

As someone who did 100+ live mock cases, I believe one of the most important factors for success is good feedback. To this end, Alan is not only great at giving feedback to beginners, but also experienced casers—always leaving you with something to work on next.
