Hi there! I'm Justin & I'm currently a first-year MBA candidate at MIT Sloan. My career journey began at Penn State where I completed both my bachelor's & master's degrees in accounting before joining ZS Associates as a healthcare consultant. After about a year & a half ZS, I moved over to Boston Consulting Group to gain experience across a variety of industries including the Consumer, Automotive, and Industrial sectors. I've had the pleasure of coaching 10+ individuals on navigating full-time MBA applications (deferred & regular), mastering networking strategies to break into competitive career tracks such as consulting & banking, creating standout resumes, and acing case interviews. Coming from a non-target school, I know how to craft a compelling story & effectively use publically available resources (e.g., LinkedIn) to maximize your chances of success. If you're gearing up to apply to your dream MBA program or break into top consulting firms, let's chat! Together, we can craft a personalized plan that sets you up for success.

About Justin

Recruiting for management consulting & applying to MBA programs can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. I'm a former BCG consultant & current first-year MBA candidate at MIT Sloan with a proven track record of helping professionals from all backgrounds achieve their career dreams, whether it's landing a consulting offer from MBB or gaining acceptance into their dream business school. I have over 3 years of experience in consulting & was accepted into both Darden's & MIT's deferred MBA programs. I've helped 10+ individuals navigate the consulting recruiting process & 5+ individuals with the MBA application process. I'm all about building strong relationships & providing clear, practical guidance. I'm a good listener, a strategic thinker, & a passionate advocate for my clients' success. I hope to work with you & wish you the best of luck on your career journey!

Why do I coach?

I coach as a way to give back and pay forward the support I received throughout my journey. At one point, the idea of receiving an offer from BCG or gaining acceptance to MIT felt like a distant dream but thanks to the guidance of many mentors and peers—whether they realized it or not—I was able to turn those dreams into reality. Since 2016, I’ve proactively initiated over 150 coffee chats through LinkedIn, connecting with those who have successfully navigated paths I aspired to follow. The valuable insights and lessons I’ve learned from this community have been instrumental in my own achievements. Now, I am committed to being that supportive figure for others, helping them reach their goals and realize their dreams.
