• Actively supported senior consultants in client interviews and deliverable creation, documenting key insights and refining materials to ensure clarity and strategic alignment

• Set up fully developed, trained, and tested AI replicas of founders
• Led engagement with clients throughout the set-up process

• Integration of low-code tools like Coachvox.ai, launched "Max AI" enabling scaled client engagement

• Taught diverse K-12 students (including ESL, gifted learners, and those with disabilities)
• Developed and shared curricula with other instructors that improved SAT scores by an average of 300 points (
