Jason’s MBA Qualifications
Jason has helped clients get into these schools:
I went from not having business school in my future plans to crafting a compelling application within 6 months, ultimately landing admission at Columbia through their deferred MBA cohort. Whether you've been set on getting an MBA since day one or are in a position that was similar to mine, I can help you go from a blank application to receiving an acceptance! I'm the most helpful for those from a tech background and are looking for insight into what differentiates them in an extremely selective admissions process, where most applicants are in traditional finance. If you find yourself in this bucket and are looking for the "key" that separates you from every other business school applicant, I would be glad to assist you.

About Jason
Background: - Duke University, B.S. in Computer Science and Statistics (2024) - Columbia Business School, MBA (Expected Matriculation in 2028) About Me: I graduated from Duke in May 2024, double majoring in Computer Science and Statistics. During my time in college, I interned with Amazon and AWS and was highly involved with the university through its community engagements and professional network. I was also admitted to Columbia Business School through the 2024 Deferred Enrollment Program. I'm an engineer by trade but a storyteller at heart. I seek to inspire others through insightful conversations and equally meaningful action plans. I value personal growth and a commitment to excellence. I believe gaining new perspectives is necessary for self and community success. I hope to work with you to achieve your personal and professional goals!
Why do I coach?
Individual experiences come together to constitute our life stories and narratives. However, not many people take the time to reflect on what makes them "themselves", and even fewer people are good at truly objective introspection. This unfortunate fact is so common during admissions cycles and job recruitment; people try to write what they think makes them look good over what they're truly passionate about. For me, the most valuable task is to ask the tougher questions, find better answers, and help individuals articulate their most authentic thoughts.
