Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

Having worked at top firms including Bain & Company and Monitor Deloitte for five years, I have extensive knowledge of strategy consulting. At Bain, I honed my skills in private equity due diligences, before heading out to Columbia Business School to complete my MBA. I have predominantly worked with industry-leading media and sports clients, spending time on secondment to Disney and Manchester United FC. I am highly analytical, given my degree in Economics from the London School of Economics. This background makes me well placed to help when it comes to prepping for market sizing and case interviews. I am passionate about supporting aspiring consultants in navigating the competitive landscape of management consulting having sat both sides of the table - as interviewee and interviewer. I would love to work together to master your case interviews and refine your application strategy. Do reach out to discuss your application journey and how I can best help!

With a robust background in management consulting, I bring over six years of experience at McKinsey & Company, where I rose to Associate Partner in <4 years after joining post-MBA as an Associate. My focus was on manufacturing and supply chain within the Operations practice, but I was involved in recruiting efforts across all practices, both generalist consultants and technical/specialist roles. I have given 100+ interviews and was extremely involved in recruiting, acting as recruiting lead for Chicago in some capacity from 2021-2025. If you have been to a recruiting event in Chicago in the last few years, we might have even crossed paths! I also hold an MBA from Harvard Business School, where I saw the consulting recruitment process up close as a candidate. Whether you need help with case interviews, resume crafting, or navigating the consulting landscape, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and strategize your path to a successful consulting career!

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.

Hello! I'm finishing up my time at Kellogg and would love to help you prep for your Case Interviews. I interned at BCG last summer, and am excited to be joining in January of next year.

I've built a strong playbook of exactly what a student needs to do to maximize their chance to land MBB offers, and I want to mold that framework to fit your timeline and needs. Following my BCG internship, I was the president of the management consulting club at Brigham Young University. I spent hundreds of hours coaching and casing, and I helped many students change their entire resume and qualify for interviews and offers at top consulting firms.

I’ll be joining McKinsey in SF and was the President of UConsulting at UCLA where I mentored dozens of students through consulting recruiting to 20+ successful offers. I know firsthand how opaque and stressful consulting recruiting can feel, especially within the last few years. Through deliberate, structured practice, I developed a repeatable approach to casing that led to standout performance during interviews and internships. During my consulting internship at L.E.K. Consulting, I received feedback that my case performance was exemplary, with no material areas for improvement. I now focus on helping candidates break down cases clearly, think like a consultant, and communicate with confidence - so the process becomes faster, more structured, and far less overwhelming. I also support applicants with resumes, behavioral interviews, and role exploration to help them build a strong foundation for success.

As a Consultant at at Bain & Company's NYC office, I worked across the Private Equity and general consulting practices in industries ranging from tech and healthcare to financial services and consumer. I also helped lead interviews and decision making for Interns, Associate Consultant and Consultant applicants, so have sat on both sides of the table and I bring first-hand experience to help you navigate the competitive world of management consulting. I work with clients coming straight out of undergrad and those making career pivots, with a track record of helping people land offers at MBB firms including Bain, BCG, and McKinsey. Whether you need comprehensive interview preparation, strategic application advice, or insights into different firms, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
