Notes:

2.45 GPA in a Big10 school. Optional essays explain my focus shifting to work/athletics during undergrad while dealing with long bout of depression and family circumstances (hopefully the stigma here isn't too strong to disqualify me on the spot).

Not typical background, but looking to transition into more skilled career of management consulting.

I've been working as a General Manager/Assistant General Manager for health club chains. Several promotions, success in sales, development of other managers and success in turning teams around. Long term goal of re-entering fitness industry by launching omnichannel offerings including V/R when technology is more widely available.

Played hockey and ran cross-country at start of undergrad. Held a store manager position in a retail chain during sophomore year and worked 40-60 hours throughout undergrad. Served as VP of campus chapter and placed 1st nationally in FBLA-Phi Beta Lambda competitions (marketing and retail management).
