Welcome, bienvenidos, bem-vindos! I'm a former management consultant at McKinsey & Company with almost 5 years at the firm across the United States and Latin America - whether you need help with case interview preparation, resume optimization, or behavioral interview techniques, I'm happy to help guide you - I even interviewed more than 40 candidates for Analyst and Associate roles (including summer internships) during my time at McKinsey! Additionally, I am trilingual - I'm a native English speaker originally from the United States, but I have lived and worked in Mexico and Brazil and am happy to help out in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Please feel free to reach out!

As an ex-BCG Project Leader and Interviewer, I'm intimately familiar with the consulting interview process, spanning from case to behavioral interviews. I specialize in taking a "ground up" approach to building specific core consulting interview skills, then integrating them into a strong overall case interviewing muscle. My approach has garnered significant positive feedback and recognition, resulting in me being appointed the management consulting case prep lead at Wharton (for my MBA) and McCombs (for my undergrad). Through this experience, I have helped nearly 100 mentees with their case prep journeys. For my efforts, I was awarded the Career Mentorship award at Wharton. I am fortunate to still have strong contact with many of my mentees, nearly all of whom have gone on great careers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Deloitte, and Accenture (as well as other firms). Several of these mentees have gone on to achieve great post-consulting careers as well, ranging from Private Equity, to Tech Product Management, to Corporate Strategy I break down my feedback on each case interview into 5 areas, and give detailed, actionable feedback on each: Clarification, Frameworking, Quantitative Analysis, Qualitative Analysis, and Synthesis. This approach has been strongly validated by mentees and resulted in offers across all top firms. My foundations-first approach has led to being named a Leland Top 50 coach in my first year on the platform.

As an interviewer for 4 years and a campus recruiting lead who has helped 50+ experienced and new grad hires get hired at MBB, I have a deep understanding of what consulting firms look for in candidates, how the recruitment process, works, and how you can stand out. I bring a unique blend of real-world consulting and recruiting expertise to the table: - Led Campus & Experienced Hire Recruiting: I personally designed case and behavioral interview questions, reviewed 2,000+ applications, and conducted hundreds of interviews. Because I’ve been on the other side of the table, I know exactly what separates a standout candidate from an average one — and what it takes to get the final offer. - Proven Coaching Success: I’ve coached over 50 campus and experienced professionals, with 60% landing at MBB and the rest successfully joining Big 4 consulting firms. - Mentored Interns To Get Return Offers: 100% of my internship mentees have received return offers. When you work with me, you won’t just memorize frameworks or rehearse common questions. I wrote my own case materials based on actual client projects, and will teach you how to present your responses in a compelling way, and explain the underlying “why” so you feel fully prepared and confident on interview day. What sets my coaching apart? 1. Real-World Cases & Tailored Frameworks: I use customized, non-cookie-cutter approaches so you stand out in a crowded field. 2. Insider Perspectives on Hiring: Having personally sifted through thousands of applications at Deloitte, I’ll show you exactly how to differentiate yourself in both case and behavioral interviews. 3. Actionable Feedback & Ongoing Support: Whether it’s resumes, networking, or final round prep, I provide structured guidance every step of the way so you’re fully set up for success. 4. Candid & Direct: I don’t just provide guidance on getting through the interviews to secure an offer, but help you to determine whether management consulting is the right fit for you. 5. Empathetic & Human: Breaking into consulting ca be tough. I help you to prioritize mental health and personal wellbeing when going through the process — especially for natural introverts. Let’s schedule a free introductory call to discuss your goals and design a prep plan. Together, we’ll turn your consulting aspirations into an offer at the firm of your choice!

As a McKinsey interviewer for 2 years, I possess a deep understanding of what consulting firms look for in candidates, how the recruitment process works, and the common pitfalls that applicants often encounter. Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on working with banks and consumer-facing products, engaging in projects that encompass traditional consulting strategy as well as new product launches. This diverse exposure has allowed me to develop a comprehensive perspective on the industry, enabling me to guide aspiring consultants effectively. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have taken on the role of a mentor and coach for over 30 individuals navigating the management consulting interview process and beyond. I provide guidance not only on how to succeed in interviews but also on determining whether management consulting is the right fit for each individual. My coaching style is characterized by candor and directness, as I believe in providing honest feedback to foster growth and improvement. However, I also bring a human lens to my approach, valuing the importance of personal well-being and mental health alongside professional success. What sets me apart as a coach is my non-traditional background in visual arts, which initially made me believe that breaking into the consulting industry was an impossible feat. Despite initial setbacks, including interview mishaps and limited networking opportunities, I persevered and found success. As a strong introvert myself, I understand the challenges and doubts that aspiring consultants may face. My aim is to provide a relatable perspective and guidance, empowering individuals with strategies to thrive in the field while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My recent experience in consulting ensures that I am up-to-date with the latest trends, particularly in the ever-evolving post-pandemic economic landscape.
