I teach people how to build a career—and a life—of consequence, aligned with their own beliefs of what success truly means. Success is personal and varies from one individual to another. My goal is to help you create your unique model for success, integrating both your career and personal aspirations. I believe that a meaningful career flourishes when supported by a fulfilling life, which includes nurturing personal relationships, maintaining a healthy body and mind, and achieving financial stability. From there, I will work hand-in-hand with you to chart a path that takes you from your current position towards whatever long-term career or life aspirations you have. My coaching style is highly collaborative and tailored to your specific needs. I am committed to providing you with the maximum value during our time together. Here are some topics I frequently cover with clients: - Developing a 5/10/20+ year career and life plan - Identifying and seizing career and life opportunities - Creating a personal financial plan, including budgeting, investment strategies, and retirement planning - Managing stress and preventing burnout My coaching is particularly beneficial for students and young professionals aiming to build careers in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy and operations, startups, or venture capital.

About Garrett
Hi! I help people build the skills, confidence, and narrative to achieve their professional goals. Specifically, I offer coaching for graduate school fellowships, management consulting, corporate strategy & bizops, and general career development. I spent 3 years as an Associate Consultant at Bain & Company, leading diverse workstreams for Fortune 500 and private equity clients across the media, technology, consumer, healthcare, and industrials sectors. My role also involved conducting resume reviews and spearheading recruiting efforts at the University of Georgia. As a Bain extern, I helped lead strategy and business development at AGBO, an independent film, TV, and gaming studio founded by the Russo Brothers. This fall, I'll pursue a Master's in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University as a Schwarzman Scholar. I've interviewed with and/or received offers from Bain, BCG, McKinsey, The Walt Disney Company, YouTube, NFL, Bank of America, Live Nation, Stubhub, NBCUniversal, and Night Media. I graduated summa cum laude with highest honors from the University of Georgia and was on a full-ride merit scholarship awarded to <5% of applicants. On campus, I served as managing partner of a student-run VC and was president of the economics society. Outside of work, I enjoy running marathons and ultramarathons, attending music festivals, and reviewing local restaurants. Ask me about discounts for UGA students and low-income professionals!

Why do I coach?
I've seen firsthand how so much of the world's information is exchanged peer-to-peer. Unfortunately, success in life can be significantly impacted by where you live and who you know. Growing up as a public school kid in the Midwest, I didn't have access to these networks. I was fortunate to meet several mentors early in my college years who were instrumental in my personal and professional development. I'm now in a position to pay it forward and help support people who are following a similar path to what I pursued.
