Jenni’s MBA Qualifications
I have always loved writing and crafting a compelling story. I worked in the Office of the CEO at BlackRock for several years, managing both the CEO and the firm’s narrative, and I understand how to appeal to a professional audience while finding space for personality and passion to shine through. I managed my own MBA application process and was admitted to Stanford, Harvard, and Wharton. I received feedback from the admissions counselors at each school and was able to overcome weaknesses in my application through my storytelling and interview skills. I’ve helped clients, friends and peers navigate the process including everything from time management and confidence building to narrative crafting and storytelling. The MBA process is incredibly unique and difficult, and I am excited to help people find their voice and stand out amongst a crowd!

About Jenni
I am an MBA candidate at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB). I was also admitted to Harvard Business School and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and previously spent 6 years working at BlackRock in New York. At BlackRock, I worked on the Chief of Staff team for the Chairman and CEO running strategy for the firm's international markets, the World Economic Forum, and the Aspen Institute. Prior to BlackRock, I graduated with honors from The University of Michigan. My services include recruiting for chief of staff and business strategy roles and the MBA application process (including school selection, deadline setting, understanding unique application prompts, essay/short answer brainstorming and editing, and interview preparation).
Why do I coach?
I hired an MBA consultant (and shortly thereafter, fired an MBA consultant) and felt that there was a gap in the market for more personalized support. Even high-end coaching services often provide generic brainstorming resulting in formulaic recommendations. I had success in the application process and want to share my approach with others to ease the burden of the process and help candidates stand out - especially when they think their story is not unique. I also have specific insights into the Chief of Staff role that is becoming more commonplace across organizations. I am able to help candidates form a point of view on how to make the role impactful and position themselves as a strategic partner to the executive.
