Management Consulting Coaches

As a past intern and incoming associate consultant at Bain & Company, I bring a strong foundation in strategic problem-solving and analytical skills honed through my diverse experiences in civil engineering and leadership roles. I have successfully coached 20+ individuals, helping them navigate the competitive landscape of management consulting. Whether you're looking to master case interviews or refine your application strategy, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

I am a child of immigrants who understands what it's like to have high ambitions without institutional and generational knowledge. From my experience going from MBB-reject to sitting on the McKinsey recruiting team, I find immense joy in helping nontraditional applicants step into calm confidence and ace their case interviews. The first time I interviewed with McKinsey, Bain, and BCG, I bombed. I had a rockstar resume, but my case prep was limited to skimming Case in Point and reading cases alone in my room. As a non-traditional applicant, I didn't have the resources and knowledge of what it would take to adequately prepare for MBB interviews. Determined to make a comeback, I reverse-engineered the entire process the following year. I spent hundreds of hours breaking down what it would actually take to get a second chance and be ready on interview day. As a result, I landed a full-time Business Analyst offer with my dream company, McKinsey, where I also served on the Cornell recruiting team. Because of my unique experience, I am well versed not just on what it takes to get an offer, but common mistakes that many candidates make. My journey helping folks land MBB offers started when I TA'ed the Management Consulting Essentials course at the Cornell Johnson School of Business. Now as a Leland coach, I love working with folks to cut through the noise and focus on exactly what you (specifically you!) need to be offer-ready on interview day.

My university is a non-target school for top consulting firms with around a ~67.6% admission rate and an unranked business school by USNews. The total student population of CSUF's business college is around 9,000+, and I was successful in differentiating myself and getting my profile in front of interviewers at most of the Big4 Consulting Groups (Deloitte Consulting, EY-Parthenon, Strategy&) and the three MBB frms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG). For many of these firms, I was the FIRST to interview from my undergraduate program in my school's history and the first to receive job offers. I also coach for deferred MBA admissions and undergraduate admissions on Leland.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in management consulting, I bring valuable insights from my time as a Consultant at McKinsey & Company, where I specialized in strategy and served as Chief of Staff for North America Talent Attraction (i.e., MBA and BA recruiting).

I have worked in consulting in various places. I have gotten 2/3 MBB offers, and interviewed at all 3 MBB. I have also worked in smaller boutiques, and have done some independent consulting as well. I have spent over 8 months prepping, and have prepped others who have went to Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Kearney, EY< LEK, Deloitte, and more.

With over 8 years of experience at Kearney, where I advanced from Business Analyst to Manager, I have honed my expertise in market entry, growth strategy, and innovation across various industries including prestige beauty, retail, and technology.

As a McKinsey alum and graduate of Wharton (B.S. Economics) and Oxford (MBA), I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to break into and thrive at top consulting firms. At McKinsey, I advised Fortune 100 clients on growth strategy and commercial due diligence across industries, leading high-impact initiatives from Agile transformations to market expansion. I’m passionate about mentoring aspiring consultants, whether it’s navigating the case interview process, building a standout application, or succeeding on the job. My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence to land your dream offer and excel in your consulting career.

I began my career in management consulting, where I worked on high-impact strategy projects and learned firsthand the skills top firms look for in candidates. Combined with my Stanford MBA and leadership experience scaling PE-backed businesses, I bring both the consulting toolkit and the operator’s perspective to my coaching. I’ve helped clients successfully prepare for the full recruiting cycle—networking, resume crafting, behavioral interviews, and of course, case interviews. My approach focuses on not only acing the mechanics of the case but also demonstrating the judgment, structure, and executive presence consulting firms value. Whether you’re targeting MBB or boutique firms, I’ll help you stand out with confidence and clarity.
