About Keta

I am so excited to support you in your MBA application journey, and thread the unique pieces of your journey into a compelling application. I am a Harvard Business School grad with non-traditional experience pre and post school. I have experience working for multiple Fortune 100 companies and founding a startup while at school, winning grant money and raising angel capital. I offer coaching for MBA applications, and have decided to transition an informal business helping friends to helping more prospective applicants put their best application forward, and gain admission into their dream MBA program. Here are the quick facts about me: -Harvard Business School '21 Alum -Admitted to many MBA programs (Yale SOM, Booth, Fuqua, Booth, Darden, UT Austin McCombs and Emory) -Applied for HBS round 2 with 3+ years of non-traditional work experience (Consumer Goods, Cruise Industry) -Landed management consulting internship, venture capital internship, and founded startup while at HBS -Offered full time job offers in management consulting (AT Kearney, BCG, startups) and decided to pursue startup, landing position in the prestigious Techstars Accelerator post-HBS -Based in NY

Why do I coach?

I coach to help others understand and identify how compelling their stories can be. I almost didn't apply to Harvard for fear of not being good enough, and I wish I had a coach to level set my expectations, help me prepare, and prepare to dream a little. I care about working with applicants who want to put in the time, and am willing to work with you from the start, or if you feel you just need a little extra TLC.
