Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Please include any internships or jobs you had before your current role.
Sure thing. Prior to coming out of college, I was a student athlete at Duke University. My career path has been pretty straightforward.
My experience to date includes four and a half years in consulting at Deloitte. Before that, the summer before I graduated from college, I took on a consulting role with a boutique consultancy focused on the public sector in Washington D.C.
From there, I used that experience as a launching pad into a larger consulting firm. I went through the standard recruiting route out of undergrad and joined Deloitte shortly after graduation. I've spent the last four and a half years there, working my way up through a couple of promotions.
