Hello! As a former Associate at Boston Consulting Group, I bring firsthand experience from 8+ engagements across healthcare, technology, and AI, where I helped clients design digital products and operationalize data-driven strategies. At BCG, I was hand-picked as the Recruiting Specialist for UT Austin, leading mock interviews and coffee chats for over 100 candidates. My coaching style is top-down, focusing on your unique motivation and passions, and then imbuing that in all aspects of your candidacy: from resumes to behavioral interviews.

I spent seven years at McKinsey, all of which served to help me understand with great clarity what consultants (both at their job, and when they're interviewing candidates) care about, look for, and have curiosity toward when it comes to looking for people with the potential to succeed at top consulting firms. I've managed over 70 consultants and coached over 100 individuals on resume prep, behavioral storytelling, and case interviewing. I believe in breaking down each topic into individual frameworks that help you understand not just how to be successful, but also why the approach works, giving you a roadmap for how to continually develop your skills both in our coaching sessions and in your own individual preparation.

As a former Consultant and interviewer at BCG, I bring a wealth of experience and insider knowledge to help you succeed in getting a MBB offer. During my time at BCG, I focus mostly on growth strategy and deal advisory projects in the consumer goods space. Regarding coaching, I have also coached 20+ individuals, with more than half landing MBB offers. I do this by writing my own cases based on my work, teaching them how to effectively present their interview responses (the real differentiator), and also explaining the real-world parallel behind these suggestions. If you are interested, I am happy to schedule a free introductory call. Let's start working towards your MBB offer!
