As an interviewer for 4 years and a campus recruiting lead who has helped 50+ experienced and new grad hires get hired at MBB, I have a deep understanding of what consulting firms look for in candidates, how the recruitment process, works, and how you can stand out. I bring a unique blend of real-world consulting and recruiting expertise to the table: - Led Campus & Experienced Hire Recruiting: I personally designed case and behavioral interview questions, reviewed 2,000+ applications, and conducted hundreds of interviews. Because I’ve been on the other side of the table, I know exactly what separates a standout candidate from an average one — and what it takes to get the final offer. - Proven Coaching Success: I’ve coached over 50 campus and experienced professionals, with 60% landing at MBB and the rest successfully joining Big 4 consulting firms. - Mentored Interns To Get Return Offers: 100% of my internship mentees have received return offers. When you work with me, you won’t just memorize frameworks or rehearse common questions. I wrote my own case materials based on actual client projects, and will teach you how to present your responses in a compelling way, and explain the underlying “why” so you feel fully prepared and confident on interview day. What sets my coaching apart? 1. Real-World Cases & Tailored Frameworks: I use customized, non-cookie-cutter approaches so you stand out in a crowded field. 2. Insider Perspectives on Hiring: Having personally sifted through thousands of applications at Deloitte, I’ll show you exactly how to differentiate yourself in both case and behavioral interviews. 3. Actionable Feedback & Ongoing Support: Whether it’s resumes, networking, or final round prep, I provide structured guidance every step of the way so you’re fully set up for success. 4. Candid & Direct: I don’t just provide guidance on getting through the interviews to secure an offer, but help you to determine whether management consulting is the right fit for you. 5. Empathetic & Human: Breaking into consulting ca be tough. I help you to prioritize mental health and personal wellbeing when going through the process — especially for natural introverts. Let’s schedule a free introductory call to discuss your goals and design a prep plan. Together, we’ll turn your consulting aspirations into an offer at the firm of your choice!

A management consulting career provides invaluable experience working with some of the biggest companies in the world and creates a powerful launch pad for the rest of your career. Having recruited across MBB and Deloitte, worked at Monitor Deloitte for 3 years, and then leveraged this experience for a VC investing role and acceptance at Harvard Business School I want to share my unique experience with you to help you land your dream role. From case practice to behavioral prep and resume review, I will help you craft a unique, holistic application where you can confidently showcase your best self and breeze through the recruiting process.

While at EY-Parthenon, I've conducted 50+ case and behavioral interviews, and worked on recruiting teams for both undergrad and MBA programs. I've worked with consulting applicants from undergrad internships through post-MBA roles on everything from perfecting your resume to behavioral interviewing, refining your brand and nailing the case interview.

Current BCG Consultant. Able to share notes and insights for MBB interviews. For Case-prep, can do cases on request or case prep course (8 weeks - all areas of case). Resume/Cover Letters reviews and interview behavioral prep also offered.

As a Senior Manager at Bain, I have personally interviewed dozens of high-caliber individuals who got an interview slot. I've coached over a hundred people on how to navigate the management consulting interview process throughout my 6+ year-long career at Bain, whether that be resume editing, interview prep, or career advice. I have a deep understanding of the consulting industry and the skills needed to succeed. I also hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Brigham Young University. I had no experience with consulting or case prep and applied to Bain because a friend said I should. My first practice case was with a Bain employee one week before my actual interview. Needless to say, it was a disaster. I called on all the resources I could to prep enough to make it in, and it worked! I want to give back to honor those who helped me through this process. I will give you my honest opinions and perspectives on both the amazing and difficult aspects of consulting. And happy to talk about your overall perspectives on life and what you want out of it! Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can help!

- I worked as part of the recruiting team and am very familiar with the process and what management consultants are looking for: 1) worked in the networking sessions and diversity sessions, 2) coffee chats, 3) resume and cover letter reviews (both as initial reader and grader and final approver to go to the next round for 300+ applications), and 4) behavioral and case interviews (20+ candidates). I was the diversity recruiting lead for Stanford. - I have worked with multiple clients extensively on their resumes and cover letters, talking points for their behavioral interviews, and case interview prep. They are now consultants at Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Deloitte, and FSG (a top social impact firm alongside Dalberg and Bridgespan). I also have worked with 75+ individuals in a less extensive capacity on their consulting recruiting process (e.g., resume help or doing a case interview)
