Riley’s MBA Qualifications

Riley has helped clients get into these schools:

From constructing your personal narrative, resume, and essays with a proven, tailored system to conducting mock interviews until you're tired of my voice, I'll help you along your application journey from beginning to end. I am a Wharton MBA student, West Point graduate, and a U.S. Army Veteran who can work with you to figure out where you should apply and how to get in. I will help you craft and draft your biggest moments of impact for admissions committees, polish your resume to make sure people from all backgrounds can understand your roles and impact, and crush your standardized tests and your interviews. I've helped others gain admission to top undergraduate universities and MBA programs and I look forward to helping you too! A little about my background: I graduated from West Point with degrees in Economics and Sociology in 2019. After graduating, I commissioned as an engineer officer in the U.S. Army and led construction and demolitions teams in Colorado. Then, I functionally specialized in space operations, where I had the privilege of deploying to the Middle East to help create a new major military organization from the ground up. Outside of work, I enjoy mountain biking, snowboarding, and experimenting in the kitchen. I’m also a lifelong fan of Washington, D.C. sports teams—which has been a lesson in perseverance if nothing else! Let’s work together to make your next chapter your best yet.
