Working with Maura was a fantastic experience. She was always encouraging, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Throughout the entire college application process, her guidance was crucial in helping me craft my essays, prepare my applications, and ultimately earn acceptance to my dream school, the University of Chicago. I truly couldn’t have done it without her expertise and support.

Alaina was my manager and mentor during my time at Greycroft (VC/growth equity), and it was a real pleasure to work with her. Her communication skills were excellent; she connected effortlessly with everyone, from team members like me to founders and investors. She encouraged me to think outside the box by consistently offering new and insightful perspectives on identifying industry trends and evaluating companies. Additionally, she helped me grasp the technical and nuanced aspects of term sheets/deal memos. I owe much of my foundational knowledge of venture capital to her guidance. On a personal level, she always offered constructive feedback that fueled my growth and introduced me to the concept of “managing up,” a skill I’ve applied in every role since. We’ve remained in contact over the years, and I continue to gain valuable insights from her. Alaina is an exceptional leader and mentor, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. She is someone I admire and look up to.

Jared was a great resource to me during my recruitment process during college. He’s very knowledgeable and articulate about what’s necessary for a successful job outcome.

Andrew was extremely helpful in my case practice for my McKinsey interview. His big focus is on proper structuring and how to frame questions before digging into the details. It really elevated my answers. Highly recommend chatting with him

Jacob was the admission director for my region for IESE, and reached out to me during my MBA application process to IESE in order to set up a call both to introduce himself and offer advice and support throughout the application process. He showed great care and initiative. If I ever had doubts or questions, he made himself immediately available to help me with whatever I needed. He genuinely cares about those he works with, and even after being admitted, he has followed along in my journey with support and excitement. A joy to work with and to know.

Maura was an absolute pleasure to work with - knowledgeable, responsive, and deeply committed. She provided invaluable guidance to my son throughout his college application process, and thanks in large part to her expertise, he was accepted into his top-choice school, the University of Chicago. I truly believe her support made all the difference.

Laura helped me gain admission to the Oxford MBA with a full scholarship (WHT). She is highly reliable and knows how to navigate these complex application environments, because she has done it herself.

Andrew was my interviewer and coworker for many years. I have the utmost confidence in his ability to help mentor and guide others. Cannot recommend him enough.

Alaina is incredible mentor. I had the pleasure to work with her on a landscaping project during an externship in college, and Alaina was our project lead / primary point of contact at Greycroft. Even with her busy schedule, she carved out time to meet with me and my team to give insightful feedback on our work and guide us on topics to double click. She was responsive and always happy to discuss questions we had. After the externship concluded, we stayed in touch. Alaina has consistently made herself available to chat about career advice and has been very proactive in putting me with the right folks to explore opportunities in the startup world. Put simply, Alaina is an all star mentor and colleague.

Missy is an exceptional coach who brings empathy, intelligence, and generosity to every conversation. She helped me reframe how I think about networking—not as a chore, but as a meaningful, values-driven practice. Her strategic insight and kind guidance have had a lasting, positive impact on my career. I’m so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and effective coach.
