Natalie has helped clients get into these schools:
Hi, I'm Natalie. I went to Stanford GSB, and also received offers and full scholarships from MIT, Columbia, and NYU. While my roots are in Finance, I dove into entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing post-graduation, having founded and sold one company, and took another from Series A to Series C, expanding to 5 new markets and generating multi-million dollars of sales in 4 years. Coaching-wise, I've had the privilege of guiding candidates to successful admissions at top schools like Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Chicago Booth. One individual's testimonial encapsulates the impact of our engagement: "I connected with Natalie during a pivotal time in my career in 2019, when I was applying for my MBA and contemplating a shift from my five-year tenure as an investment associate to a more strategic role. Natalie's willingness to share her own career journey was invaluable. Her insights extended well past the professional realm, guiding me through her experiences during her MBA journey and beyond, helping me clarify my career direction and reevaluate what truly mattered in my life. Natalie's mentorship was exceptional, offering a wealth of practical advice for my career. Her support and guidance have played a significant role in shaping my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor and advisor, particularly for those seeking career growth and direction." Beyond MBA coaching, I provide comprehensive career guidance, drawing from my diverse experiences. If you're looking for practical advice and a mentor who understands the twists and turns of various career paths, let's connect and navigate your journey together.
