About Erik
I'm a first generation college student from New Jersey who went to Rutgers for undergrad, worked in the pharmaceutical industry for four years, then attended Harvard Business School for the last two.
Why do I coach?
Working with clients and friends more informally in their MBA application journeys has brought me a lot of joy over the last few years, and I'd love to help others achieve their admissions dreams.
