I can always make time outside of the available hours listed if you have a particular scheduling constraint but think that I can support you for your specific goals. Just let me know!
Questions? Start chatting with this coach before you get started.
Why do I coach?
I have always been taught to pay it forward. If it had not been for tutors and coaches growing up, I would not have been fortunate enough to attend the schools I did and work at some of the companies I have been able to land roles at. The business school and tech/consulting markets are highly competitive and if I can help make the Admissions process or Interview process respectively even 1% easier for somebody else, it's more than worth it to me. I hope I can help you achieve your goals similar to how my mentors helped me!
