Peace of mind for you.

A competitive edge for them.

Parent & Student saying goodbye at a college dorm

You have guided them to this point. Now, the game changes.

You have done the hard work of raising an ambitious, high-achieving young person. You’ve supported their academics and extracurriculars to get them into a great university. But the moment they step onto campus, the rules of engagement shift.

The college-to-career pipeline has become faster, more competitive, and more complex, and the pace of change continues to increase as AI changes the business landscape. For many students, the pressure to "figure it out" leads to overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and missed opportunities.

Your Corner Coaching exists to ensure your student succeeds in college and lands in the career or next step that’s right for them.

A young man sitting on a bed in a dorm room, talking on the phone with a serious expression. The room has a brick wall decorated with posters, and a large window showing nearby buildings. A speech bubble over his head reads, 'Dad, you don’t get it. It doesn’t work like that anymore.'

The Two Challenges You Are Likely Facing With Your Student

If you are like the many parents I speak with, you are likely feeling one or two specific tensions:

1. The "Wrong Messenger" Problem: You have wisdom to share, but your student isn't listening. It is a natural part of young adulthood to push back against parental advice. They often view your guidance as "nagging" or "pressure."

The Solution: I act as the "Third-Party Validator." Often, I give students the exact same advice their parents have been giving them for years—but because it comes from a coach who has more recently navigated the same problems, they listen, internalize, and take action.

2. The "Landscape" Problem: You want to help, but the recruiting landscape has changed dramatically since you started your career. Recruitment for top finance and consulting roles often begins freshman year. New industries are emerging, and the "rules" for networking have evolved.

The Solution: You provide the support system; I provide the tactical roadmap. I bridge the gap between your desire to help and the specific, up-to-date knowledge required to land top-tier offers today.

Why Trust Me With Your Student’s Future?

Credibility matters. Your student is entering a high-stakes environment, and they need a guide who has actually walked the path.

While academic and career advisors at universities play their own important role in the college experience, most of them have not actually gone through high-stakes recruiting processes or held positions at major firms.

I am a high-performer who understands the mindset, roadmap, and skills required to succeed at the highest levels.

  • Academic Success: I navigated Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, graduating with a 4.00 GPA as number one in my class of ~1,600. I understand the discipline required to maintain a high GPA while balancing leadership involvement and recruiting.

  • Top-Tier Professional Experience: I started my career at McKinsey & Company, the world’s top management consulting firm, and had other job offers from Boston Consulting Group, Procter & Gamble, GE, PwC, and Boeing. I know exactly what top employers are looking for because I have been in those interviews and succeeded.

  • A Proven Coach & Mentor: I have coached ambitious high school seniors competing for top scholarships, college students interviewing for jobs at top consultancies, investment banks, and Fortune 500 companies, and early-career professionals navigating their first roles and important career transitions.

What Your Investment Buys

For parents of high-achievers or ambitious international students embarking on their educational journey in the US, I know that "success" isn't just about grades. It’s about the outcome.

My coaching is designed to deliver:

  1. Return on Education: Ensuring that their expensive degree translates into a career that aligns with your students goals.

  2. Strategic Clarity: No wasted semesters. We build a roadmap for internships, coursework, and leadership that builds a resume year over year.

  3. Holistic Wellbeing: High achievers are prone to burnout. I coach them on mindset, resilience, and time management so they can succeed without sacrificing their mental health.

A Note on Partnership

How we work together.

I view parents as important partners in the success of my coaching. While the coaching sessions are confidential (to ensure the student feels safe to be vulnerable about their fears), I respect the investment you are making.

  • Initial Consultation: You are welcome to join initial consultation to meet me, ask questions, and ensure our values align.

  • The Goal: My goal is to send your student back to you more confident, more communicative, and with a clear plan for their future.
