About Nina

I'm an MBA student and Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford GSB. I was born in China, and grew up in Toronto, Canada. I received a BA in Social Studies from Harvard, and after graduating, worked at Bain & Company. After Bain, I worked in Kenya, South Africa, and Zambia in early-stage edtech companies and in venture capital. I care deeply about creating broader access to opportunity at a global scale. I love coaching people through the MBA + undergraduate application processs, particularly crafting authentic stories that reflect each person's unique experiences. I'm particularly passionate about helping other first-generation immigrants and candidates from emerging markets tackle the graduate school application process.

Why do I coach?

I feel incredibly lucky to have gotten where I am today, and am keenly aware of the role that luck and privilege played in my journey. I believe that no one should go through the dizzying maze of applications – business school or college – on their own. And nothing gives me more fulfillment than helping others tell their stories in all their vibrancy.
