Why do I coach?
I landed my McKinsey offer with just two weeks of focused prep, and I’m eager to share my strategies, insights, and a mindset shift that can help you succeed in your interviews. During my recruiting journey, I faced hurdles like visa sponsorship, a non-traditional background, and being new to case interviews. I know interview prep can be stressful, and I'm here to help you.
