Carrie Shuchart holds an A.B. in Social Studies from Harvard University and an MBA from Columbia Business School. She has been an editorial analyst at The Atlantic, a freelance television producer, and an entrepreneur. While at Columbia, she focused her efforts on Follies, the school's semi-annual comedy show, for which she acted, directed, and made some pretty poor attempts at dancing. She began teaching with Manhattan Prep (then Manhattan GMAT) in 2008 as a way to fund her startup habit and her shoe collection. In 2010, Carrie joined the Los Angeles office of McKinsey & Co. as a consultant. She now serves as Director, Head of Communications for McKinsey New Ventures. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her partner.
