Kassidy’s MBA Qualifications
I'm a Stanford MBA student who received admission to Stanford and Wharton. I provide unique coaching because I do not come from a traditional consulting or finance background, and I was accepted with my partner who is also a current GSB student. I'm so excited to help you identify why you want to go to business school by crafting your story and bringing your experiences to life. Prior to the GSB, I was a technical product manager at Capital One where I led frontend and backend product strategy for the Capital One credit card application for all customers applying for a credit card. As an MBA admissions coach, I will help you dig deep to identify your pivotal experiences and core strengths to create your story. Together we will thread them throughout your application -- from application strategy to recommendations to interview. More specifically, I can provide the following services: - Initial application strategy - Essay brainstorming, essay editing, and final essay review - Recommendations strategy - Final application review - What to expect in an interview / mock interviews - Waitlist strategy - Strategy for applying with a partner I have helped many students and professionals craft their applications, prepare interviews, and receive offers at their target companies and institutions, and I look forward to helping you do the same!

About Kassidy
I grew up in Las Vegas, but have lived in Japan, Washington DC, Dallas, Orange County, Utah, and now the Bay Area. I studied Finance at Brigham Young University and became a Product Manager after undergrad at Capital One where I led the Capital One credit card application with 100M+ visits annually. I then decided to enhance my management skills by getting my MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. While there, I interned at Amazon as a Technical Senior Product Manager in Seattle, where I worked on the training and development of large language models for internal external use. I also interned at Condor Airlines in Frankfurt, Germany as an operations manager working on enhancing ground operation's metrics and performance. Since graduating from Stanford, I launched my search fund, Balboa Growth Partners, where I am looking to acquire, operate, and grow one great software business. I am passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, fintech, and helping women gain access to better educations and improving their financial literacy. In my spare time, I love playing pickleball and volleyball, watching sports, and traveling.
Why do I coach?
I am a first generation college grad, so I didn't have much guidance navigating how to apply for MBA programs. Additionally, when I graduated from undergrad, there were not many undergrads going into product, so I had to forge my own path. As a coach, I hope to help those like me with limited guidance and resources to achieve their dream jobs and dream programs!
