Consulting: My Motivation and Reasoning

My interest in consulting has and always will be rooted in something my parents called "my pitbull persona". Though it might sound negative, they mean to say I am a deeply entrepreneurial person/spirit and have always found a way to make something from nothing since I was young. I grew up attending Young Entrepreneurs Camps and Inventors Camps, where I learned how to take an idea through various stages to execution and reality. Those earlier experiences taught me to think creatively, build practical solutions from scratch, and feel at home in any new environment. Even now, I still feel and show these common characteristics, including being genuinely curious about my surroundings and things I'm not familiar with. Understanding how something works, deeper than surface level, is a driving factor behind much of the current work I engage in. Consulting appeals to me because it channels my entrepreneurial spirit/mindset into real organizations facing real challenges that I have the power to address. Change and create long-lasting impact through structured problem-solving.

One of the reasons why consulting fits me most is the actual breadth and diversity of my interests. I'm someone who genuinely loves learning across a variety of disciplines. Studying finance, accounting, computer science, economics, and constantly bombarding my friends in psych, architecture, philosophy, and political science to let me get a peek into their world is defining for me. I do this simply because I'm curious about what people do and how they think. Consulting mirrors that instinct and allows me to peer into different industries, business models, and teams, in a constantly changing and evolving professional landscape. I love variety, and consulting is one of the few careers where that curiosity is a strength and not a deterrent.

What excited me most is the opportunity to help people. Behind every case is a client with goals, pressure, and most importantly, uncertainty. Making a meaningful impact in moments where organizations face extremely high risks is something I can take pride in. The field also pushes me to grow and continue strengthening the skills and technical fluencies I've been building up since Inventors Camp. Consulting gives me a path where I can keep learning, stay engaged, and create impact, all while honoring my entrepreneurial pitbull spirit.
