Hi! I'm Amelia. I'm extremely passionate about helping young career folks and recent grads navigate their time out of college. It is an incredibly important stage that has the potential to set you up for massive success later on, but it's important to approach it strategically. I'd love to help you navigate the decisions you'll face, create buy-in with more senior leaders, communicate effectively, demonstrate your value, and more. In my first full-time job out of college, I was promoted 4x in 2 years, ran a 5+ person team within 1 year of graduating, and began work as an independent consultant for startups and VCs. I have been blessed with exceptional mentors and leaders to learn from and would love to pay it forward. Reach out if you think we might be a good fit.

Landing in the right role can be challenging - I personally have navigated this many times and have helped others navigate it.

As a former HR Business Partner at Amazon and Management Consultant, I have worked extensively with hundreds of friends, family, and colleagues from a variety of backgrounds to refine resumes, write cover letters, and practice interviewing. My coaching philosophy is based on the following principles: 1) Your time is precious - we'll be efficient and I won't waste your time if I'm not providing value 2) Listen more than talk- I'll focus on what you need and won't monopolize our sessions with unrelated commentary 3) Drill down on targeted areas of focus - You're good at a lot of things; let's target any weak areas and drill those until you feel confident 4) Respect and genuine concern - I'll always be respectful and I bring sincere, singular attention to our calls Don't hesitate to reach out!

I've worn a lot of different hats, in many different sectors over my career. Like a lot of college seniors, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I graduated, so I jumped into recruiting for consulting firms. I joined Bain's New York office and worked for three years there as a management consultant. While I loved the job, learned a lot, and met some of my best friends, I realized after three years that something was missing. After leaving Bain, I spent six months working in the Global Health branch at the Gates Foundation, which opened my eyes to the scale of global inequality and motivated me to consider working for one of our partner organizations. A couple months later, I moved to East Africa, where I spent the next three years working for One Acre Fund, a social enterprise that helps farmers farm more productively. There I shaped a 5-year systems change strategy and oversaw strategy/ops for our Kenya field team. After a 3-year MBA/MPP program at Harvard and Stanford, I'm focused on helping people build lives of joyful connection as a coach and community builder - which has involved stints in state level government, social entrepreneurship, and building my coaching practice. I'd love to use these experiences and skills I've learned along the way to help you navigate the twists and turns in your own career.

As a former Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company, I bring a deep understanding of the management consulting industry and what it takes to succeed in the application process. I led the events workstream for Washington University in St. Louis recruiting, and my team organized resume workshops, case workshops, and other sessions to help candidates apply and interview at McKinsey. During my time at McKinsey, I led a hiring accelerator for one of my clients where I reviewed resumes, wrote resume review criteria, and wrote job descriptions to help my client determine who to interview and ultimately hire. I am my friends' go to person for helping with resume edits, LinkedIn reviews, and networking tips. I would love to help you land your dream internship or entry-level role in tech, real estate, or consulting.

Throughout my whole childhood I thought I was going to be a doctor, going so far as to study Neuroscience and complete the pre-med track at Colgate. After 6 months in what was supposed to be a gap year as a Life Sciences Consultant, I realized that not only did my skills better align with the business side of healthcare, but that I could still make an impact on patients without being a practicing clinician. From there, I worked in Corporate Development & Strategy as well as Portfolio Planning in Biotech before getting my MBA / MPH at Berkeley Haas. Where I completed internships at both Pfizer (Marketing Rotational Program) and UCLA Health (Healthcare Administration in Operations) before returning to Pfizer for the full time MBA Marketing Rotational Program. At Haas I led the careers team for the Haas Healthcare Association, where I put on multiple networking events with companies across the healthcare ecosystem and helped coach many of my MBA and MPH peers on the full time or internship roles they might be interested in, how to break into healthcare consulting, health tech, biotech / pharma, and many other roles throughout healthcare. I also was a storytelling and public speaking coach and bring those skills to interview prep and career development planning as well.

Are you looking to break into consulting from a non-target or semi-target school? I've been there myself and successfully secured consulting internships at Bain & Company and EY-Parthenon. At Bain, I gained hands-on experience in the private equity and fund strategy practice, working with a PE client managing over $200B in AUM and helping a financial data solutions provider enter private markets. My sophomore and junior summers were spent mastering execution, delivering top-tier work from start to finish. Beyond advancing my own career, I’m committed to mentoring others. I've coached 10+ individuals from non-target schools, helping them land roles at all three MBB firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and top Big 4 firms (Deloitte and EY-Parthenon). As someone who’s successfully navigated multiple recruitment cycles from a non-target background, I’m here to help you break into consulting or elevate your career.
