How long have you been with the firm and how did you end up with Kearney?

I was a summer associate in 2020 and am thrilled to be back full time as of September 2021. I landed at Kearney via the MBA recruiting process while I was at Duke. I chose Kearney because of the collaborative and people-centric culture, variety of interesting work, and strong firm leadership.

What made you choose the D.C. office?

On the personal side, I grew up in the D.C. area and have only grown to love it more as time goes by. On the Kearney side, one of the D.C. office leads was on my interview loop and he is someone who contributed to my early (and lasting) impression that Kearney has strong leadership.

What else do you enjoy about D.C.?

I like to describe D.C. as the “Goldilocks City” because it’s just right—it’s got what you want in a big city: diverse population, day-to-day conveniences, robust public transit, great airports, sports, arts, food, etc., and at the same time it’s geographically smaller and populated by people who are down to earth.

Growing up here, my family was always taking advantage of what the city offers: the Smithsonians, shows at the Kennedy Center, Caps games, awesome restaurants, etc., and it’s been great to get back to enjoying those things and more.

How would you describe your office’s culture and atmosphere?

I think our office reflects D.C. as a whole: smart, interesting, fun people who are down to earth. Something I noticed immediately (and love) is that people at all levels drive the strong sense of community at the office. People genuinely care and look forward to seeing each other whether that’s casually at the office or at events like the annual mini-golf tournament or holiday party.

What’s the one thing you’d like candidates to know as they choose their home office?

You can have a great career with Kearney regardless of where you are, so go where you’ll be happy. Break down what “happy” means for you (for example, access to family/friends, hobbies, day-to-day conveniences, community impact, etc.) and think about how each office location stacks up.
