Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

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 was also 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 interview coaching. And in college at the University of Michigan, I peer coached dozens of students to offers at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture, Strategy&, and Deloitte.

I’ve spent four years at Deloitte Consulting, where I collaborated with Deloitte’s recruiting team to design case interviews, develop evaluation rubrics, and coach candidates through the process. Having seen exactly how firms evaluate talent, I know what it takes to stand out, and I’ve helped dozens of candidates through the recruiting process, many of whom went on to land offers at top firms. Whether you’re tackling your first case, refining your story, or aiming to stand out in interviews, I know what firms are looking for and how to help you shine!

I have helped over 100 students with consulting interview preparation, resume and LinkedIn reviews, and academic applications (deferred MBA programs, fellowships, etc.). I have specifically found a great deal of success in MBB interview prep, helping over 25 students secure MBB offers at a 93% offer rate. My coaching style is highly human-centric and personalized, as I use behavioral health techniques to train students on how to channel their brightness with concision, clarity, and creativity. In terms of credentials, I have been a Scholarship Admissions Interviewer at USC, the President of 180 Degrees Consulting at USC, a Co-Founder of the USC Consulting Consortium, a Founding USC Recruiting Lead at McKinsey & Company, and the CEO of Blue Modern Advisory, a Professional Mentorship startup.

With offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG across both the U.S. and Japan, and a track record of helping candidates land offers at every major MBB office in the U.S. and Asia, I specialize in helping candidates break into top-tier consulting. I bring not just personal success, but institutional insight: I served as BCG’s North America Recruiting Champion in 2019, personally bringing in the highest number of experienced hire recruits across the region—a distinction that earned me a special bonus. I also led campus recruiting efforts at WashU, where I was directly responsible for the largest class BCG Chicago had ever hired from the school. From undergraduates to MBAs, I’ve coached 100+ candidates through every stage of the MBB process—from shaping compelling personal stories and acing case interviews to navigating final-round dynamics. I’ve worked with peers at Wharton, students at top undergrad programs, and international candidates navigating recruiting from both inside and outside the U.S. Beyond offer prep, I also bring insider perspective on how to build a long-term career at MBB. At BCG, I was part of the PIPE practice in the Dubai office advising Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, which became the springboard for my later transition into finance. If you’re looking to stay and grow within the firm, or eventually pivot to PE, VC, or IB, I can help you strategically plan your path from day one. If you’re looking for proven, structured coaching to land a consulting offer—especially at MBB—this is the right package.

Hello and welcome to my profile! As an Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, I have led diverse teams in advising clients on growth strategies and large-scale transformations. My experience includes developing a $10B data strategy for a Fortune 500 firm and leading a team of 20+ data scientists and developers to create an AI-powered web application for a global pharmaceutical sales force. With an MBA from Columbia Business School, where I was a Glenn Hubbard Scholar Merit Fellow, I bring a strong foundation in business strategy and leadership. I specialize in helping clients master the consulting application process, including case interviews, resume building, and behavioral interview prep. Let's connect to discuss how I can help you achieve your consulting career goals!

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.

On Consulting Case Interview prep: I interviewed candidates for BCG. Furthermore, as a Recruiting Director for our Empower Program (a recruiting program focused on Black and Latinx MBA candidates), I was personally responsible for preparing ~15-20 high-potential candidates, and achieved a historically high admission rate. Throughout my time at BCG, I helped dozens of candidates coming out of undergrad and grad school prepare for case interviews.

After rigorous training on how to interview for the top-tier consulting firms, I ran over 140 case studies with peers to prepare myself and my peers for interviews. I am an incoming consultant for MBB and am able to help with both case study and behavioral interview preparation. I helped my coachees to land jobs at Bain, BCG, McKinsey, PwC, EYP, and more. I'm an expert networker and can help you curate a plan to approach your entire application and interview process, including working through an extended timeline to manage the process end-to-end.
