About Vanessa
Professionally, I've worked 4 years at BCG and have been on the other side of the table interviewing candidates. I've prepped dozens of friends and peers on management consulting cases and behavioral interviews, and am excited to help take you to the next level in casing. No matter what stage of prep you're at, we'll customize a path forward that will pull our your strengths and address areas for development. I'm currently a second year student getting my MBA and Masters in Design Innovation from Kellogg and was a former student admissions interviewer. If you ever have questions about the MBA / dual degree path or need brainstorming / prepping your application materials, I'm here to support you as well. I've also received formal coach training and have received coaching from an accredited coach over the last few years, so I'll approach our sessions with structure and rigor. In parallel, I'm a natural empath and I promise to listen to you and work with you in the way that works best for your learning and growth.
Why do I coach?
My first manager at BCG was a formally trained coach and completely changed my life through coaching. Through coaching, I've learned how to untangle overwhelming thoughts and approach hard moments with clarity, intentionality and confidence to achieve my goals in life and work. It's been a goal of mine since to help coach others and help them achieve goals most meaningful to them. It brings me a ton of energy to see people grow and evolve, so it was an easy choice for me to join Leland.
