About Claudia
I specialize in helping candidates navigate the complexities of top-tier programs. As a Duke MBA graduate and former Admissions Fellow at Fuqua, I’ve gained a deep, insider’s perspective on what top schools look for in applicants. During my time at Fuqua, I personally interviewed over 30+ Daytime MBA candidates, refining my ability to assess applications and provide strategic guidance. I also continue to stay actively involved with Fuqua admissions, staying current on the latest trends and expectations for applicants. Passionate about supporting candidates from diverse backgrounds, I have a strong track record of helping international students craft compelling narratives that resonate with admissions committees. Whether you're fine-tuning your application or preparing for interviews, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Why do I coach?
Coaching matters to me because I’ve experienced firsthand how life-changing mentorship can be. Throughout my journey, I’ve been fortunate to receive guidance from incredible mentors who not only helped me navigate challenges but also pushed me to realize my full potential. Their support shaped my career and personal growth, and it’s that same sense of empowerment that I aim to provide to others. I truly believe that mentorship and personalized support are key to unlocking success, especially in something as pivotal as MBA admissions. I’m passionate about paying it forward, helping others craft their unique stories and confidently pursue their goals.
