I'm a current MBA student at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, formerly at McKinsey and JCPenney. I applied to the GSB three times before I got in, so I know what it takes to crack a top MBA program. Together, we can tackle your application and get you into your dream school. As a coach, I'll take a non-cookie cutter approach to your application, and will take the time to help you build a story that is uniquely yours. From your resume to your essays, I'll ensure that every piece of your application brings your best foot forward, reinforcing your strengths and emphasizing why your dream school needs you in their next class. Additionally, I was graciously offered full ride scholarships to attend Kellogg and Wharton and can help navigate the process to ensure you reach your fullest potential for merit awards. If you're reapplying to your dream school, or need help tying together a cohesive story of what makes you unique, I'm your guy.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management and a current 4th year medical student, I bring a healthcare-centric perspective to the MBA admissions process. Additionally, I'm only a few months removed from being a student admissions interviewer at Kellogg and also spent a year on the admissions committee at my medical school. Thus, I have useful experience on both sides of the admissions process. My goal is to be the go-to coach for those who want to use an MBA to work in the vast world of healthcare. Describing healthcare experience in interviews and essays can be challenging, as it requires translating complex industry knowledge into language that resonates with a broad audience, including MBA admissions committees. I'm confident I can help you do just that. I've reviewed dozens of MBA applications and coached many healthcare-focused candidates. I feel well-prepared to help you leverage your medical background—or if career switching, to express your interest in healthcare—to stand out in your MBA applications. Let's work together to make your application truly exceptional—reach out to get started!

In my own application, I benefitted greatly from an admissions consultant who coached me to write the best essay possible to capture my unique qualities and strengths. This preparation and pre-write process was instrumental, and I will work with you on the ideation exercises that we did together as well as provide more general thought partnership around the key themes and stories you would like to highlight in your admissions essay. You want to ensure your application is well-rounded; I will read through your application in its entirety to make sure we use your essay tactically to fill in any missing details. Quick tip: When you submit your MBA application, you must be able to say without a doubt that the admissions committee knows who YOU are after reading your materials - authenticity is paramount. I have always been an avid reader and strong writer, and am the de facto editor for my friends and family. For credentials, I scored in the 99th percentile on GMAT verbal; received a perfect SAT score for my college applications in 2012 (2400); and a perfect SAT critical reading score (800). I will be able to help you not only with essay ideation but also with structural questions and revisions. While I am most passionate about essay ideation and writing, I am qualified to help on any of the short answer questions, as well as work with you to create the strongest MBA resume possible.

Hi, I'm Maria! I just finished my MBA / MS Sustainability degree at Stanford and am still up to date on all the ins and outs of the application process and the qualities that top business schools seek in their students. I got into both Stanford and Wharton MBA programs on my first try as a non-traditional, international applicant. I worked with one of the most seasoned MBA coaches (25+ years experience) in the industry to craft my application - I know what it takes to build a killer MBA / dual-degree app. Before becoming a Leland coach, I worked with two coachees who both got into their dream programs (MIT and INSEAD). I also helped 4 GSB/HBS admits negotiate $200k+ in financial aid. At the GSB, I worked as an Admissions Ambassador, held countless coffee chats with prospective applicants, led sessions at the GSB admit weekends, and interacted with 100+ MBA applicants from all over the world. I find it especially rewarding to help non-traditional / international students / climate-oriented folks stand out to gain admission to competitive MBA and scholarship programs. Whether you need help on big-picture essay framing, interview prep, general application strategy or nitty-gritty details, I'm excited to work with you!

I was pretty involved on campus (BBSA, GSB Pride, Student Government, People People Club). My favorite experience, however, was serving as a TALK Coach. I was selected as one of five coaches and worked with my peers weekly on self-reflection and storytelling that culminated in each of them sharing a 30-minute personal life story. MBA admissions are a stressful and high-stakes processes. I'd love to help you in your unique journey of figuring out which schools are the best fit for your goals and ensuring that they are able to see and appreciate you. I have worked with a variety of domestic and international students to help them articulate their stories better, highlight what truly matters to them and why, and be prepared for the exciting journey ahead of them.
