If you re-ran your life as a simulation 100 times, how many of those times would you end up in a similar(ish) place? How many truly divergent, fork-in-the-road, life changing moments appear in your timeline that irrevocably alter the course of your trajectory? If you took a look at where my career path was in ~2015, you'd likely expect the 100 simulation outcomes to be more or less the same. Graduating from a state university and working at a mid-tier oil & gas company as an individual contributor, my path to accelerated advancement had few branches open to me. Nonetheless, I was fortunate enough to make my way to Harvard Business School in 2016, and ultimately a long and successful career in consulting with Bain & Company - two divergent moments that forever changed my career path and future. I hope to use my time here with Leland to help create divergent and transformative moments for your career path as well. Within consulting, I focus mostly in Performance Improvement and Social Impact, though I have a breadth of casework experience including Private Equity, Healthcare, Energy, Technology, and Supply Chain & Operations. I also love mentoring great people (in and outside of Bain), which is why I am here with Leland! Outside of work, I am involved with a non-profit board (the Austin Asian American Film Festival), and I love to travel and explore the world, having visited ~100 countries (depending on how you count them), as well as climbing big mountains around the world. Looking forward to connecting soon!
