Break into Top MBA | Harvard MBA Candidate | Green Beret Veteran

I will get you to where you want to be. My time in the Military has thrust me into many unknown situations where there is no clear path and I have charted that course for myself and can help others do the same. Over the course of 2 years I went from not knowing what a GMAT was to Scoring 710 on the GMAT being Accepted to both the University of Chicago Booth and Harvard Business School, and receiving a summer internship offer from both McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group. When I know the where I find the way and I am eager to help both military veterans transitioning and anyone else who is interested in this path. I am a passionate teacher which is why I choose to serve as a Green Beret, and I care deeply about the people I coach and mentor. The greatest job satisfaction is seeing the success of others as you help them to grow and achieve their goals.
