As a McKinsey interviewer for 2 years, I possess a deep understanding of what consulting firms look for in candidates, how the recruitment process works, and the common pitfalls that applicants often encounter. Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on working with banks and consumer-facing products, engaging in projects that encompass traditional consulting strategy as well as new product launches. This diverse exposure has allowed me to develop a comprehensive perspective on the industry, enabling me to guide aspiring consultants effectively. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have taken on the role of a mentor and coach for over 30 individuals navigating the management consulting interview process and beyond. I provide guidance not only on how to succeed in interviews but also on determining whether management consulting is the right fit for each individual. My coaching style is characterized by candor and directness, as I believe in providing honest feedback to foster growth and improvement. However, I also bring a human lens to my approach, valuing the importance of personal well-being and mental health alongside professional success. What sets me apart as a coach is my non-traditional background in visual arts, which initially made me believe that breaking into the consulting industry was an impossible feat. Despite initial setbacks, including interview mishaps and limited networking opportunities, I persevered and found success. As a strong introvert myself, I understand the challenges and doubts that aspiring consultants may face. My aim is to provide a relatable perspective and guidance, empowering individuals with strategies to thrive in the field while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My recent experience in consulting ensures that I am up-to-date with the latest trends, particularly in the ever-evolving post-pandemic economic landscape.

Navigating the MBB recruiting process can seem overwhelming. I help student, at all stages and from all backgrounds, layout a framework to make themselves the ideal MBB candidate. Having landed a position at BCG — I know how the process works. I came from a non-target school and landed at a high-demand office. Whether you are a freshman looking to get your feet wet or a Junior right before full-time resume drops, I have helped students in a similar position as yours! As the VP of recruiting for the BYU Management Consulting Association, I have helped hundreds of students in this process. Apart from my experience at BCG, I have considerable experience in internal consulting, external consulting, and Private Equity. Gaining this experience during undergraduate will set you apart from other applicants and allow you to hit the ground running once you land your dream job!

MBA graduate with extensive case interview prep at the MBA and undergraduate level. Conducted 50+ mock cases with clients landing offers at MBB, Deloitte, and Accenture among others. I'm able to provide tailored feedback to each client by breaking down the case interview into its component parts and working with the client to improve. With around 4 years of experience as a recruiter, I can also provide valuable insight into how to succeed on the behavioral interviews which are critical in the assessment process for consulting companies.

Do MBB consultants seem super human? I promise they're not. As a very normal person who successfully navigated MBB recruiting (and who has coached/mentored dozens of students since), let me help prepare you to do the same. First and foremost, I understand what it takes to land an MBB offer because I've successfully been through the process, securing an offer at BCG. In addition to the prep required to land the offer, my subsequent internship with BCG shed so much light on case interviews--why consulting firms choose to use them and what attributes they are looking for in interviewees. When you finally get your feet wet in a real consulting project, you understand why these 30 minute puzzles are weighed so heavily in the hiring process! I've also had several impactful consulting-related leadership experiences while at BYU. I served as a co-president of BYU's Management Consulting Association, an organization of ~250 students dedicated to recruiting and case prep. This required me to be at the top of my game, running cases with and mentoring dozens of students. Helping these students through the recruiting process has solidified my understanding of what does and doesn't work, as well as how to give meaningful, specific, and actionable feedback. Along with this, I was a director for BYU's Cougar Consulting Group, a management consulting group on campus led by a BYU business strategy professor (ex-Bain, ex-professor at Wharton) and staffed by ~50 students. I supervised three teams working on real consulting projects for real clients, guiding them in the development of their logic structures, research and data analysis, recommendations, and client-ready deliverables.

I worked in management consulting for five years across a variety of roles - as a Business Analyst, Engagement Manager, and in the office of the CEO at McKinsey & Company. I also was able to do a secondment at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for a year. At McKinsey, I was a Faculty member who led first and second-year analyst trainings and conducted hundreds of hours of coaching. Lastly, at the University of Michigan, I peer coached dozens of students to offers at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture, Strategy&, and Deloitte. I am currently pursuing my MBA at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Throughout my time at Fuqua, I excelled on both sides of the casing process. After putting in the work during my first year and securing an internship with BCG, I focused on mentorship and supporting my classmates during my second year. This came in two forms: - First, I helped design and lead Fuqua Consulting Club's Casing Roadmap, which teaches first year students about the casing process - structure, guidelines, strategy, preparation tips, etc. - Second, I worked directly with first years to prepare them for consulting interviews, conducting over 100 practice cases that led to dozens of Big Three offers. While casing is my strength, I am also able to provide support for behavioral interviews, resume review, and general career-path coaching.

The boring/relevant background: I've worked at BCG and L.E.K. and have navigated the MBA and undergrad consulting recruiting processes successfully! The slightly less boring/relevant background: While at those firms, I worked on the recruiting teams (including performing interviews) and can thus give you secret and not-that-secret insight on exactly what firms are looking for. The "why you should trust me": I've worked with over 50 candidates that have gone on to also get their dream offers- including many without any case experience! The best news: You're certainly more qualified (and probably smarter!) than me and thus I'm certain we can make this happen! Let's get to work!
