Came from non-traditional background after having taken 7 years away from school and had to ramp back up on the GMAT. I am happy to share any tips and tricks to the GMAT that I came across as I studied for it. Prior to starting at Booth, I started a company to help European students play soccer at US universities. As part of that, I was tasked with helping them through the SAT/ACT process and have experience guiding through standardized testing, similar to the GMAT

About Kris
After earning my MBA from Booth, I joined BCG as a consultant, working for a major FMCG company on their carbon footprint, specifically on their path to reach their 2030 net zero commitment. Prior to Booth, I played soccer professionally for 7 years in France and Norway and started my own start-up company in the educational consulting space (sending European soccer players to US universities). Helping others join their dream schools through my start-up, as well as crafting my own story from a non-traditional path to reach my dream school, have given me a great inside look at what types of stories really resonate with admissions committees. While at Booth, I took this passion for mentoring and became a consulting family lead, a career advisor, as well as an admissions fellow. As an admissions fellow, I interviewed applicants to Booth, conducting 10-12 interviews per quarter. As such, I can speak to characteristics Booth looks for in candidates, as well as provide general interview tips and tricks applicable to all schools, to help you really shine on interview day! I am passionate about coaching (why I founded my start-up and took on many advising roles at Booth) and enjoy helping others reach their goals. Whether you're coming from a non-traditional background and need help crafting your story, or are looking to hit on all the important points come interview day, I'm excited to help you on your journey to your dream school!

2019 - 2021
I was an admissions fellow at Booth, meaning I interviewed prospective students and reported back to the admissions committee. As such, I know what the admissions committee is looking for in candidates and what really resonates having been on the other side of that interview table. I was also a career advisor at Booth, giving first year students advice on navigating their career path, as well as a consulting family lead- coaching first year students to navigate the consulting recruiting and interview process.
