Over the past eight years, I’ve coached more than 60 professionals through high-stakes career transitions across law, finance, and private equity. My own path, from a top-10% graduate of Howard University School of Law to M&A attorney at Paul, Weiss and Kirkland & Ellis, and now a middle-market private equity fund while earning my MBA at Wharton, gives me a unique perspective on navigating elite recruiting and ambitious pivots. I specialize in helping clients clarify career goals, tell a compelling story, and secure offers in competitive industries. From resume and LinkedIn optimization to networking strategy, interview prep, and offer negotiation, my coaching blends insider knowledge of Big Law and high finance with a structured, data-driven approach.

As part of the founding team at Mosaic, an early-stage venture capital firm that raised $200M, I’ve spent over a decade leading fundraising, business development and strategic partnerships initiatives - and working alongside some of the biggest names in sports to bridge on-field and on-court excellence with access to cap tables and boardrooms. This journey has given me a front-row seat to how top performers think, evolve, and lead. I’ve built teams, navigated complex business landscapes, and helped transform potential into performance - in startups, corporations, and people alike. As a coach, I draw from these experiences to focus on you - the person behind the title. My approach centers on navigating inflection points with clarity and confidence - whether you’re breaking into a new industry, climbing the corporate ladder, or launching something of your own. If you're thinking about a career or advancing in the world of business development or venture capital, I have first hand experience. I’m not a media mogul, but I’ve explored the world of podcasts and video storytelling, and I believe everyone has a story worth refining and amplifying.

With over a decade of hands-on experience navigating high-stakes career transitions, I bring a proven track record of strategic career development and advancement. I spent eight years in investment banking, earning early promotions at every level through a combination of relentless work ethic, effective networking, and deliberate career management. After attending Harvard Business School, I successfully pivoted into corporate strategy, working with leading consumer companies to build and scale their businesses. I landed a C-suite role immediately after business school and now serve as Vice President of Business Strategy. My journey reflects a deep understanding of how to position oneself for success—whether it’s breaking into competitive industries, accelerating career growth, or making bold pivots—and I use that insight to help others do the same.

Welcome! I’m Yijie — a current Bain & Company senior associate and former Accenture ML consultant with hands-on experience in private equity tech due diligence and AI solutions. Beyond career coaching, I also help students choose the right majors and navigate U.S. college admissions, especially for engineering and STEM paths. Having been an international student myself, I understand the challenges around visas, recruiting, and adapting to a new country — and I’ve helped 18+ individuals successfully move through these transitions. Whether you’re planning your college path or pivoting your career, I’m here to give honest, practical guidance. Happy to support you on your journey!

From Gatekeeper to Guide, with Strategy, Soul, and Solidarity I’m Gloria—an Afro-Latina, first-gen scholar, trauma-informed coach, and former gatekeeper at some of the world’s most competitive institutions. Over the past 20 years, I’ve served as an Assistant Dean at MIT, an Assistant Director of Admissions at Harvard, and a graduate program leader at the University of Maryland. I’ve reviewed thousands of applications, managed multi-million-dollar fellowship portfolios, and helped shape policies that determine who gets in and who gets funded, which has inspired confidence in my expertise. But my work has always been about more than just the acceptance letter. As a residential proctor and equity-minded educator, I witnessed how high achievers often sacrifice their well-being for success. That’s why I pivoted. Today, I’m a PhD candidate at USC researching equity and student well-being, and a National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching Exam Candidate (March 2026). I combine the tactical skills of an admissions dean—crafting standout essays and negotiating funding—with the compassionate tools of a trauma-sensitive coach, offering a healing-centered, equity-driven approach tailored for high-achievers and professionals seeking meaningful change. Whether you’re a first-gen student navigating the hidden curriculum, a high-achieving applicant aiming for top-tier programs, or a seasoned professional seeking a meaningful pivot, I’m here to help you move forward feeling grounded, seen, and fully yourself.

Over the past three years, I’ve had more than 100 coffee chats with MBA applicants, master’s students, and young professionals, helping them think through school choices, career pivots, and how to tell their stories with confidence. Having lived, studied, and worked across both China and the U.S.—in finance, consulting, tech, and entrepreneurship—I’ve been through many of the same transitions and uncertainties my clients are facing. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to make big career decisions in a new environment, and my goal is to offer practical guidance, honest feedback, and a supportive space to figure things out. If you're exploring paths across consulting, finance, tech, or even starting something of your own, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and momentum.
