Over the past 5 years, I have helped my peers (through MLT and my time at the Fed) and coachees get into top MBA programs (as well as other graduate programs), specifically through their essays, resumes, and other application materials. I have a keen eye for editing and am honest and clear with feedback.

I have coached 70+ individuals who have been admitted to every top MBA program.

As an alum of Harvard Business and Kennedy Schools, I navigated multiple graduate degree admissions processes. I’ve worked with candidates who have successfully applied to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, and other top MBA programs. I started my career at Bain & Company and then worked in tech (biz ops and growth) before grad school. I have been closely involved in civic and public service opportunities including working at the US Treasury and serving as a State Delegate prior to school. While in my three-year MPP and MBA program, I worked in Venture Capital and Growth Equity investing at Norwest Venture Partners, Floodgate Ventures, and Summit Partners. I now run Growth Strategy @ Carta, a $7B tech co in Silicon Valley. I coach in my spare time because I love helping candidates distill their stories and present the best version of themselves to adcoms! When I applied, my partner was also interested in an MBA -- we wanted to maximize our chances of living in the same city during school, which led us to deeply research and contact admissions and alumni at all top 7 MBA programs to ensure we understood how we would be evaluated. After hundreds of hours of research myself, there is nothing I love more than being able to share that knowledge strategically & concisely with applicants. I particularly enjoy working with dual-degree candidates, candidates with public/non-profit sector experience and candidates interested in emerging tech and Venture Capital. As someone who applied with a partner, I can also speak to how various degree programs consider partner applications and strategy around managing dual-MBA families.

I have personally been admitted to several M7 and T15 MBA programs, including Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School ($130K fellowship), and Cornell Johnson ($70K fellowship). Additionally, I am a recipient of some of the most prestigious and competitive graduate fellowships in the world, such as the Schwarzman Scholars program at Tsinghua University with only a 3% acceptance rate annually. Since then, I have advised 20+ traditional and non-traditional applicants to top business schools globally, including Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, The Wharton School, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, MIT Sloan, INSEAD, London Business School, Haas, Cornell Johnson, and Dartmouth Tuck, etc. I have developed a success framework and templates that can guide you through the MBA application process and maximize your chances. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique story. Reach out to start your journey towards your dream MBA program!

Want an MBA but don't know where to start? Taken the GMAT but don't know how to craft your essays for different schools? Somewhere in between? As an expert coach and storyteller, I've helped 250+ students and early career professionals achieve their educational and career dreams. My background as a Stanford MBA and Harvard MPA student means I've seen this first-hand as well. I will work tirelessly to ensure you land your dream school placement, covering the start-to-finish MBA experience: -Comprehensive "story" creation -Essay first draft, editing, and finalization -MBA resume crafting -Recommendation letter curation -Application short answers and storytelling -Interview preparation

As an active Harvard MBA candidate, I understand the complexities of the admissions process from both a strategic and personal perspective. While working in private equity, I successfully managed the demands of a full-time job alongside preparing my MBA application. My experience navigating this process has given me valuable insights into creating a compelling application while balancing other commitments. I enjoy helping prospective MBA candidates with every step of their journey, from GMAT preparation to crafting a standout resume and securing impactful recommendations. Having gone through this process myself, I focus on offering practical, actionable advice tailored to each applicant’s unique strengths and goals.

I am a deferred MBA admit at MIT Sloan and recently graduated from Boston University. I am here to help undergrad students navigate the MBA application process. Having recently applied to deferred MBA programs, I have insight into how admission committees evaluate undergraduate profiles. Deferred applicants have a unique set of experiences such as internships, university clubs, and classroom projects that require a tailored application strategy. I believe every component of the application—from the resume to the interview— is an opportunity to story tell. When done strategically, applications tell a story about where you've been and where you see yourself headed. I help weave together your experiences and aspirations in a compelling narrative so you can confidently crush the deferred admission application.

Started coaching formally on Leland - my last client was accepted to HBS and Wharton! Experience with coaching with 2+2 programs

I was a non-traditional applicant for business school. I was not strong quantitatively, and came from technology sales. I did not have a network of people who had MBAs, and felt like I was drowning. If you are in a similar place, I might be the right coach for you! I will first help you evaluate if an MBA is the best move for you. We can work through each of the reasons people typically get MBAs. I am happy to share my experience as well. If an MBA is your decided next step, I will help you craft a narrative that showcases your true self to the admissions committee. I was admitted into HBS in Round 1 and waitlisted at Stanford GSB. I will of course work with you on waitlist strategy to secure your admission.

After going through the MBA application process this last year, I feel that I have a fresh and holistic perspective to share across all areas of the process for multiple Top 25 programs. Much of what I learned through that process has been so beneficial as I've started my first year in Duke's MBA program.
