Prior to the week of the application deadline, I'd never even heard of Bain. I came from a Political Science background and had spent my summers interning at refugee organizations and teaching English -- nowhere near Excel. I'd never even taken a business class, so I found the world of MBB recruiting daunting and totally foreign. That being said, I quickly learned that the kids who have been gunning for a management consulting job since freshmen year are not inherently better candidates. Regardless of your background, you can hold your own in a case interview, and I can help you get there! Having served as a Recruiting School Team Lead while at Bain, I have incredibly valuable insight into the internal mechanisms of MBB networking, the case interview itself, and which overarching strategy will serve you well. In this capacity I worked with at least 50 candidates, preparing them for cases and actually conducting the final round interviews. Reach out for resume review, mental math drills, mock cases, and general advice.

About Reagan
Fascinated by the idea of marrying private sector tools with public sector priorities. Compulsive concert goer, semi-obsessive skier, former ESL teacher, and an adamant supporter of car karaoke. Wholehearted advocate of trial and error -- especially in career choices. I went from a Political Science Bachelor's degree to Bain & Company to education policy at the Gates Foundation to Harvard's MBA / MPP. You can be more than one thing, and you can have a really good time while figuring it all out!
Why do I coach?
I've been a bridesmaid 18 times. Not because I have an abnormally large repertoire of close friends, but because I grew up in a world where marriage is the finish line for women. I never had a female professor in college, so finding female leaders as mentors early in my professional career has been the most joyful thing! As a result, I'm an outspoken advocate for anyone who feels out of place in the world of high-demand applications and happy to convince you that you belong -- whoever you are. As a political science major, transitioning into management consulting felt entirely foreign to me. Having learned heaps along the way (thanks to coaches and mentors with hearts of gold), I'm especially excited about coaching those who come from non-business backgrounds and want to break into a top MBA program. As a dual degree student myself, I'm also happy to work with students applying to joint degrees, especially in the social sciences.
