Nick’s College Qualifications
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
I achieved the highest possible level of scholarship (Presidential Scholarship, "Thomas S. Monson Scholar") coming into undergraduate study at Brigham Young University (BYU), awarded to only 50 students in each incoming class of 7000+ students. I've since helped students of many backgrounds successfully apply to BYU, including international students.

About Nick
You should choose me as your consulting recruiting mentor for 3 reasons: 1) I'll help you navigate post-COVID challenges (e.g. BCG case interview robot), 2) I'll make you a case structuring expert, and 3) I'll create a detailed, tactical prep roadmap. First, if you're looking for the most up-to-date information on how to succeed in post-COVID consulting recruiting - BCG's case interview robot, McKinsey's virtual game, Zoom interviews, and more - I'd love to help you navigate these new curveballs in an already difficult recruiting process. In 2020, I received internship offers from both McKinsey and BCG, and I made final rounds with McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. Long story, but I ultimately chose BCG, and I'm happy to share perspective on the differences between firms. Second, I will help you turn case structuring from a difficult, ambiguous task to a skill you're excited to show to interviewers. Through my interview process I developed a particular penchant for customized, non-formulaic case interview structuring, for which I built a strong reputation at my university and top consulting firms. I have since delivered multiple lectures on the subject, and I've helped other students build the same skill set and take off the training wheels of canned frameworks. Lastly, I've built a strong playbook of exactly what a student needs to do to maximize their chance to land MBB offers, and I want to mold that framework to fit your timeline and needs. Following my BCG internship, I was the president of the management consulting club at Brigham Young University. I spent hundreds of hours coaching and casing, and I helped many students change their entire resume and qualify for interviews and offers at top consulting firms. I'm currently a cofounder at a YC-backed startup - I love consulting, but the startup opportunity was too great to let go. That said, even though I’m not a consultant, I've spent hundreds of hours becoming an expert on getting a consulting offer for myself and others. I'd love to share my expertise and cross-firm, international consulting network with you.
Why do I coach?
I love helping others to achieve their goals in the same way that others helped me. I've benefitted from many mentors in my life - dozens of consultants and friends helped me to land my consulting offers - and I find a deep sense of fulfillment in giving back through mentoring.
Work Experience
Co-founder & COO
Relay Health, Inc.
April 2022 - Present
I abruptly left the consulting world when an addiction recovery tech startup I co-founded in college started taking off and raised money from Y Combinator and other investors. Since then, as a side hustle along with the startup, I've continued to hone my skills as a mentor for aspiring consultants as well as prospective MBA candidates taking the GMAT!
Summer Associate
Boston Consulting Group
June 2021 - August 2021
I created pieces of the equity story to help a PE client sell a beauty subsidiary, including fielding and analyzing a survey for salon professionals, conducting expert interviews and store visits, and forecasting incremental revenue for new value levers.
Nick was also given offers to work at
McKinsey & Company
Education
Brigham Young University
Bachelor of Science, Economics, Chinese
2018 - 2022
I received a dual major in Economics and Chinese from BYU with minors in Strategy and Entrepreneurship. While at BYU, I combined machine learning and econometrics to estimate the causal impact of major choice on likelihood of receiving an offer at a top consulting firm - happy to share the results if you're interested. Graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a 760 GMAT score...and then went full-time building a tech startup, so none of those numbers matter anymore!
