About
I help people navigate the big career changes that they face. I can help both graduates and experienced professionals get into MBB consulting, using experience at both McKinsey and BCG in order to help them stand out from the pack and nail the case interview. I also help people think through narrative for MBA and other major transitions. I love to push people to be the best they can be, I am caring, curious and relentless in helping others unlock their potential
Why do I coach?
I have been fortunate to have generous and present life-long coaches and mentors that have been critical sounding boards when I navigate big career changes and supported my development professionally and personally. I look to bring this same energy to the people I coach. I have tutored from university level, to being a guest lecturer at Stanford and helped people at McKinsey and BCG to succeed
