Hello and welcome to my profile! With extensive experience at McKinsey & Company, where I served as an Engagement Manager and led multiple interviews for new candidates, I am well-equipped to guide you through the management consulting application process. My background includes a robust understanding of client relations and communication, honed through my roles at Rubicon Founders, McKinsey, Brookstone Partners, and Ernst & Young. I am a CPA and hold an MBA from Chicago Booth, which further solidifies my expertise in the field.

I’m a former strategy consultant with four years of experience at L.E.K. Consulting, where I also supported recruiting and candidate assessment. Prior to joining L.E.K., I went through the full management consulting recruitment process myself, receiving offers from Monitor Deloitte, Nous Group, EY-Parthenon, and KPMG Strategy. I recruited from a non-target university and come from multiple under-represented backgrounds, including being LGBTQ+, first-generation and low-income, and from a refugee background. I bring both insider knowledge of how consulting firms assess candidates and a deep understanding of how to navigate the process without traditional advantages.

My five years coaching at NYU Stern opened my eyes to the consulting recruiting process. From identifying firm fit and behavioral interview prep, to offer negotiation, I have supported students to land their dream roles at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, EY-Parthenon, and more. My approach blends strategy with positive psychology. I don’t just help you polish your resume and cover letter — I help you show up with confidence, clarity, and a compelling narrative that’s true to you. If you’re looking for a coach who understands both the rigor of recruiting and the resilience it takes to land one of these spots, then I would love to work together.

I successfully broke into Bain as a non-business major at a non-target school. Having just gone through the consulting recruitment process, I understand exactly what it takes to succeed at every stage. I have both given and received over 100 case interviews while mentoring friends and peers, and I am deeply familiar with the behavioral interview process, storytelling, and building strong connections with interviewers. I now joined Leland to work with ambitious students who want clear, structured, and practical guidance across every component of consulting recruiting, from casing and fit to confidence and communication!

I joined Bain as an Associate Consultant and stayed until I became a Manager. In the meantime, I managed to get transferred twicce (from Dubai to Los Angeles to Washington DC) and get sponsored to study my MBA. My global and long-term experience at Bain has helped me understand the ins and outs of consulting. I have used this experience to help applicants (including my MBA peers) get offers at Bain & Company.

Consulting can feel like a black box until you’re in it. After nearly a decade at Deloitte, I know what it takes not just to land an offer, but to succeed once you’re there. I help candidates demystify the recruiting process, position themselves effectively, and understand what consulting firms are really looking for. While I can support case prep if needed, my focus is broader: helping you articulate your value, communicate with confidence, and show up as someone firms want on their teams. For those already in consulting, I coach on how to thrive inside the firm—building relationships with partners and clients, navigating tough projects, and charting a path toward promotion (or knowing when it’s time to pivot). Whether you’re trying to break in or make the most of your experience once you’re in the door, I’ll share practical insights and candid advice to help you succeed.
