As a medical student, I saw the value in pursuing multiple complementary degree programs to help bolster my training and perspectives on the world. As a coach, I help prospective students navigate the difficult hurdles often faced when preparing to apply, enroll, and thrive in these programs.

My north star from teen years was to study in the US. This pushed me to start my application process early - from shortlisting programs and identifying the best fit to maximizing my GRE score and speaking with students and faculty at my target schools, I was able to methodically manage every component of my application. I am also of the opinion that one should aim for the wildest dreams and take a swing. Therefore, I always tell my clients, friends, and peers to separate the signal from the noise and apply to the schools that they really wish to attend, and at the same time, I help them build plans B, C, and D. It's good to have backup plans and yet it is equally important to give every application your absolute best so that there's no room for regret. I appreciate and understand how overwhelming the application process can be when done alone. Through my coaching, I aim to provide the right kind of support and advice to my clients in order to help make this arduous journey a little easier.

I got into Harvard Kennedy School with an undergrad GPA below 3.00 and a moderate test score, not because I had the perfect stats, but because I knew how to tell a powerful story. As a singer-songwriter with over 3 million views on YouTube, I’ve spent years crafting lyrics that resonate, and I brought that same skill into my admissions essays. My storytelling helped me stand out, and now I want to help you do the same. If you’re aiming for top schools and want to turn your unique background into a compelling narrative, I’d love to be your coach.

I'm not here to get you into any specific program. I'm here to help you determine IF a higher degree might help you get to where you want to go. Sometimes it does, most of the time, the degree is not the thing that gets you there. It can help open doors - but you - the you who starts the program - you have to make the most of that time in the program and have a game plan going in! Most of these programs are 12-24 months. It goes by quickly - and you need to know where you're headed (or at least have a few options picked out) in order to maximize exposure to your desired industry or company. As a coach - I believe YOU have the answers to the hard questions like , "which program do I choose?" I can help by asking questions that bring to light your personal values, priorities, concerns and other important factors. I can provide tactical exercises to help you narrow down choices and eliminate options that aren't a fit. I've worked with business students and engineers from undergrad to MBA and have a pretty solid understanding on what you need to have to pivot into a specific field. Most admissions help comes from people who've worked on just that. Admissions. Getting INTO a program. I have experience looking at resumes (as part of Admissions decisions) with the lens of a recruiter and asking, "With this Master's/MBA degree, how competitive a candidate will this person be in their field?" You are likely pursuing a higher degree because you want that experience or the letters behind your name to help you make some kind of career pivot or "level up" in your current line of work. I work with those considering Specialized Masters and MBAs - and ask the hard questions to get to the root of what you want and if you truly NEED an MBA to get that - or if there might be other, equally valid ways to make that switch. That way - you can make your own pros/cons list without someone "selling" you from the university or college side. Sadly - admissions folks often know "outcomes stats" or highlights that they get from the Dean's Office or marketing department. Rarely are they familiar with what it takes to get a job in your chosen field - or whether or not you qualify to work in CPG or the entertainment as an international student on OPT. I ask questions like: - What you want out of the degree (learning vs hard skills vs opportunity based on industry) - What are your top priorities (in order) for your next job? More money? Location? Industry? Job title? Job function? - Which programs or locations might you consider based on common industry hubs and university partnerships for hiring? - How much research have you done about your chosen field? - Do you generally meet the pre-requisites of job postings that you're interested in? If not - what is missing and how do we build that skill set? - Do you require visa sponsorship and how familiar are you with the OPT/STEM OPT and H1B visa processes? I will be an honest and impartial thought partner to help you decide if you need a degree - or some directed career coaching (which I can also help with!). Not sure if it's a fit?
