Karla has provided me with invaluable career advice that I carry with me throughout my academic and professional career. She has edited countless versions of my resume, college application essays and internship applications across our mentor-mentee relationship. She has provided me with the confidence and strategies to be a strong and competitive candidate during interviews and the job application process. As a first generation college student, she provided me with the tools and resources I needed to successfully transition from high school to college. Whenever I had a question or needed to talk out future academic or career plans, Karla used her free time to meet in-person or chat on the phone at a moment's notice! Karla's resourcefulness and passion demonstrates her determination to help others and see them succeed. It has been a pleasure having her as a mentor for five plus years and I wouldn't be where I am today without her coaching and advice.

As a former school captain for both UChicago and Harvard at JPM, Karla is a highly sought-after investment banking career coach. Despite her busy schedule, she makes herself available to applicants from other schools and has a particular expertise in West Coast tech recruiting. In addition to her impressive knowledge of the industry, Karla is also a strong advocate for women in banking and excels at helping her clients craft compelling narratives for why they want to pursue a career in investment banking. I have personally worked with Karla and can attest to her dedication, professionalism, and exceptional coaching abilities. She truly goes above and beyond to help her clients succeed!

Not only does Danny know all of the intricacies of the McKinsey recruiting process, but he knows how to best push and inspire you to be at your best in the application and interview process. Danny coached me on office selection, resume details, and interview prep.

Karla helped many people navigate through recruiting and onboarding at JPM team. She's always been very involved in the tech team recruiting as UChicago and Harvard school captain and offers great and relevant advice for applicants looking to recruit for west coast tech banking. Having extensive experience in banking with two internships before returning full time with the group, she would always proactively coach me through banking and point me to sought-after resources. For any situation I was facing, she provided both the most relevant perspective and truthful and helpful feedback. She's simply a great mentor and career coach with unbeatable level of support and helpful advice!

Karla has been a really lovely and supportive person as I worked through key questions I had around when it might make sense for me to take big steps to grow my career. She helped connect me with folks at various M7 schools so that I could make an informed choice about which schools would be the best fit, and she's such a great listener! Even when I came back to her from those conversations with others, I got the right feedback, support, and validation to understand whether I was making the right choices for me.

Karla is an amazing career coach and mentor with an impressive academic and professional pedigree. She coached me through my sophomore internship at Goldman Sachs to ensure that I navigated my summer and manager review sessions effectively to land a return offer. She also mentored me as I transitioned to IB the following year, and with her help I was able to prepare for the rigorous interview process and pick the right IB internship for me. Karla cares about her mentees and takes the time to tailor the right approach to achieve your goals. I would highly recommend working with her!

As a career coach, Karla has made a name for herself, mentoring young professionals and helping them achieve their goals. I have witnessed the ways she has kept coaching relationships active over the last decade. Beyond building 1:1 rapport, Karla was instrumental in co-founding the Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) Scholars Mentor Council, where she demonstrated her work ethic and unparalleled commitment. Her candid but helpful guidance has made her a coaching favorite with young professionals!

Josh and I were case partners during our MBA at MIT and now we’re both working at Bain. Josh’s feedback and guidance throughout our casing sessions helped me learn how to nail the case interview and score offers from Bain & McKinsey. The case interview is the most important part of consulting recruitment and I could not recommend working with Josh highly enough!

Neil was terrific. He introduced me to the different type of cases / interviews that one can expect from top management consulting firms. He's a patient listener and helped me identify where I could most effectively use my time preparing. I would 100% recommend Neil to anyone that is thinking about consulting as a career. It also helped that he went to a top MBA program and was able to speak about his experience there. I'm sure he'd be a great MBA coach as well!

Josh worked with me extensively as I was preparing for my Bain interview as an undergrad. Josh was so easy to work with and immensely helpful — we ran through dozens of cases together and prepared for the behavioral interview questions. His feedback and support throughout the process was invaluable. Don’t think I would’ve gotten the job without him, highly recommend!
