I have a deep passion for coaching and helping others succeed. My extensive experience as the Co-Founder and CEO of Busara Center for Behavioral Economics has equipped me with the skills to guide and mentor aspiring MBA candidates. During my time at Busara, I oversaw the expansion of the organization from 8 employees and $100,000 in funding to 135 employees with over $12 million in annual revenue. Further, while at Shara, I served as COO for the organization's formative first few years, growing from 8 employees to 65 while raising $40m from top-tier investors such as Index Ventures and Canaan. I have a strong passion for helping students with entrepreneurial and socially-minded backgrounds pursue their dreams. I believe that my unique blend of business expertise, leadership experience, and passion for coaching make me a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the MBA admissions process. Whether you need help with application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I am here to provide guidance and support. Reach out to me today and let's work together to achieve your MBA goals!

Despite being from an overrepresented demographic, I managed to get accepted into all three programs that I applied for (INSEAD, Oxford, and Berkeley). Additionally, I had major financial and time constraints because I already had 2 children (at the age of 28!) before applying to business school. I'm not a naturally good test-taker so I had to be both efficient and creative to pull this off. I was able to get into these programs because I'm strategic, resourceful, and know how to craft a story with the audience in mind. I have a lot of experience teaching/training and am excited to help you craft your story and demonstrate to admission committees that you are unique and that you have a lot of value to add to their programs.

I will be the trusted partner that can help you show up, stand out, and break through the MBA application process. My goal is to help you articulate what makes you unique, going beyond your GPA and GMAT scores, to demonstrate how your presence will positively contribute to the MBA classroom. I will do this by helping you weave a compelling and cohesive narrative across the various components of your application: (1) Providing guidance on how to showcase your work experiences and trajectory, professional certifications, and extracurricular involvement, (2) Developing a strategy for your letters of recommendation, personal statement, and optional essay, and (3) Offering tips for networking, your interview, and the waitlist or deferral strategy (if applicable). How we'll work together: I start by kicking off with a comprehensive brag sheet and a ~2 hour kickoff meeting to create a personal roadmap for our work together. Then, we dive into your resume revamp, discuss your short-term career goals, develop your recommender prep packages, and work on your essay (including up to 4 revisions). I will help you with your data forms (the actual application) and will conduct one mock interview (regardless of how many schools we're working on together). I'm always here to assist with general questions that will naturally arise throughout the process.

Annie is an experienced and passionate coach who uses the power of storytelling to inspire humanity and empower individual growth. She went through the deferred admissions process last year, and successfully crafted a strategic & holistic narrative despite having a sub-par GMAT score, received interviews with Stanford GSB, UPenn Wharton, and Chicago Booth programs, and received letters of recommendation from highly influential people such as the business school dean, a Partner at a Big 4 firm, and world-class faculty. Now, as a Michigan Ross graduate and a deferred admit to the University of Chicago Booth Scholars Program, she hopes to offer comprehensive assistance to students who are looking to apply for deferred MBAs. At the University of Michigan, Annie served as an academic writing coach for underresourced first-years hoping to transfer into the competitive Michigan Ross business school, so she has reviewed over 20 application essays from diverse students, and deeply understands what top business programs are looking for in their candidates. As a first-generation college student, Annie has always highly valued education and conducts thorough research to further her abilities. She is seeking not just coachees, but mentees, who come from underrepresented backgrounds to provide complete resource guides, top-secret tips to the application process, and a thorough review and analysis of their application essays.

Welcome to my profile! I'm an MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern), in the 1-Year program on a half scholarship. I was also admitted to Wharton / Lauder program on half scholarship (Joseph Wharton fellowship + Lauder fellowship) along with a full-tuition scholarship offer from Darden. Prior to pursuing my MBA, I spent 2 years as a Senior Associate at L.E.K. Consulting and two years as a Middle School Teacher with Teach For America Hawaii. Too many applicants try to figure out what the admissions committees want to hear and don't focus on their own story. I'd love to help you talk through how to bring your authentic story to life in a way that is interested and engaging to help you get offers and maybe some $$$ along with it!

I love coaching & have helped applicants get accepted to Booth (full time & part time), Kellogg, and Dartmouth.

Experienced Coach with proven track record of helping aspirants crack their MBA Admit. I have the tendency to go all in and I would not rest till we have together made multiple iterations to perfect that essay and application.

Since I realized that a thing like a deferred MBA program existed the February of my senior year, I had only 2 months to complete my deferred MBA applications and get a test score. Despite this setback and going into this process alone, I was able to have a successful outcome which I believe was driven through my application essays and interviews.
