Kate’s Management Consulting Qualifications
Experience level: Consultant
10+ people coached for Management Consulting
Kate has helped clients get into these companies:
Hi there! I'm a former management consultant at Accenture with product management experience at Capital One. I've reviewed 50+ resumes and coached 20+ students to become well-versed in behaviorals and case interviews - applicable to the recruitment process across management consulting and product management. I'd love to provide insight on the skills required to be a strong interview candidate, how to navigate client engagements, and figure out if this industry is the right fit for you. I've helped students land internships and full-time offers at PwC, Accenture, Deloitte, West Monroe, EY, and Credera. Whether you're looking to master case interviews, refine your resume, or chat through your career journey, I'd be happy to guide you however needed. Please feel free to reach out!

Why do I coach?
Landing a school acceptance, internship, or full-time role can be an absolute rollercoaster. When I was first applying to colleges, I didn't have an an immediate, go-to mentor since my parents hadn't navigated the university application space within the U.S. During my time at UW-Madison, I was lucky enough to find peers and alumni to help me navigate recruitment for internships and full-time, improve my case interview skills, succeed in consulting interviews, and transition out of consulting and into product management. I'd love to pay it forward - I feel energized when mentoring others, learning about their experience and perspective, and ultimately helping them achieve their goals.
