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.

The boring/relevant background: I've worked at BCG and L.E.K. and have navigated the MBA and undergrad consulting recruiting processes successfully! The slightly less boring/relevant background: While at those firms, I worked on the recruiting teams (including performing interviews) and can thus give you secret and not-that-secret insight on exactly what firms are looking for. The "why you should trust me": I've worked with over 50 candidates that have gone on to also get their dream offers- including many without any case experience! The best news: You're certainly more qualified (and probably smarter!) than me and thus I'm certain we can make this happen! Let's get to work!

After rigorous training on how to interview for the top-tier consulting firms, I ran over 140 case studies with peers to prepare myself and my peers for interviews. I am an incoming consultant for MBB and am able to help with both case study and behavioral interview preparation. I helped my coachees to land jobs at Bain, BCG, McKinsey, PwC, EYP, and more. I'm an expert networker and can help you curate a plan to approach your entire application and interview process, including working through an extended timeline to manage the process end-to-end.

With a strong foundation in both investment banking and management consulting, I have worked at industry-leading firms like Bain & Company and LionTree, providing me with deep expertise in strategic problem-solving, financial analysis, and business transformation. I have successfully guided clients through complex projects and advised companies on key growth initiatives. Additionally, I run a web development and design solutions business, generating $25K in monthly recurring revenue, which gives me first-hand entrepreneurial experience that I leverage to help others start and scale their ventures. As a coach with Leland, I specialize in helping clients break into management consulting, excel in their professional careers, and pivot into new fields. Whether you're looking to make your mark in consulting, transition to a new industry, or launch your own startup, I offer personalized coaching to equip you with the strategies, confidence, and insights needed for success.
