Sydney has helped clients get into these companies:
I am well versed in the consulting recruiting experience from both my own process working for BCG and my extracurricular role actively engaging with top-tier consulting recruiters to help Georgetown students land early insight program, internship, and full-time offers. For the last several years, I was actively involved in Innovo Consulting, Georgetown's pro-bono consulting organization that creates change for our social entrepreneur and non-profit clients. I served on the Board and helped lead our new CSR practice that helps firms like Pfizer, sweetgreen, and CorePower Yoga reach set ESG goals. My main role was Director of Development, where I oversaw mentorship and career guidance. Specifically, I planned regular open-access professional development workshops, provided individual consulting recruiting mentorship and interview prep to 50+ students, and organized 12+ annual personalized networking events with global consulting firms including McKinsey, Bain, BCG, PwC, Accenture, EY, and Deloitte. Whether you have never heard of consulting or you are looking to apply this recruiting cycle, I am eager to help you navigate this process. From exploring the industry on a macro-level to preparing for the application (networking, crafting cover letters & resumes) to putting your best foot forward in the interviews (behavioral and case), I will serve as a dedicated resource to ensure you are educated and confident from start to finish.

About Sydney
My road to joining Stanford GSB’s deferred MBA program was an exciting challenge full of insights I am eager to share. It all started with a new joint-degree program in Business & Global Affairs at Georgetown University. This unique experiential learning curriculum allowed me to travel internationally to countries such as Ghana, The Dominican Republic, and Haiti to consult government agencies, NGOs, and corporations (notably Gap Inc. and sweetgreen). Meaningful collaboration with my 35-student cohort solidified my love for working in teams and provided me with real-world project experience that I was able to draw from throughout my consulting recruiting and deferred MBA processes. This global journey inspired me to join BCG and Stanford GSB to enhance my cross-sector problem-solving abilities, essential to a future of leading responsible multinational development. Dynamic mentors in Georgetown’s social impact consulting club enabled my success by educating me about the consulting industry and sharing their firsthand recruiting experiences. As a coach, I seek to pay this mentorship forward. With 3 years of experience supporting mentees navigate consulting recruiting and having recently completed my own deferred MBA application process, I bring an immersive and relatable perspective to coaching. My job is to help you craft your story and successfully articulate your narrative in the form of resumes, application essays, and interviews. I believe that planning and practice are crucial, so I aim to offer accessible and dedicated support to ensure you are confident in your application and interviews.
Why do I coach?
I leaned on some amazing mentors for guidance during my consulting and deferred MBA application process. The support I received has been essential to my success in the professional and academic fields – I coach because it's important for me to continue supporting others who are interested in similar experiences.
