As an accepted candidate to the University of Chicago's prestigious deferred MBA program, I bring firsthand experience and insights into the application and interview process. My journey involved extensive preparation and coaching, through which I gained a deep understanding of what the admissions committee values. I have had direct conversations with several members of the interview and admissions committee, including the director of admissions, providing me with unique perspectives on what makes a successful application. With this comprehensive background, I am well-equipped to guide and mentor others through the process, helping them to craft compelling applications, prepare for interviews, and ultimately achieve their goal of being admitted to this esteemed program.

With over twenty years of multifaceted professional and MBA admissions consulting experience, I am passionate about guiding high-potential applicants toward successful deferred MBA admissions. My commitment is to help you articulate your unique story and personal brand in an authentic and engaging way. I ensure that every aspect of your application—from essays and resumes to recommendations and interviews—reflects your full potential. Whether you need comprehensive end-to-end guidance or targeted assistance with a specific component of your application, I provide honest, actionable feedback and individualized hands-on support to empower you to achieve your vision and goals. I bring a unique perspective to the MBA application process, combining extensive international business experience with a deep understanding of the admissions landscape and job market. I hold an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and a BA from Swarthmore College.

I'm a recent Harvard Business School graduate with extensive experience assisting others with all things MBA (e.g., the application process including the interviews, MBA selection, using the MBA as a career pivot, and beyond). Beyond HBS, I was also accepted into Booth's Deferred MBA program with a scholarship. I'm really looking forward to working with you as you refine your MBA application strategy and think through this next phase of your life!

Welcome to my profile! As a current MBA student at Harvard Business School and a Master in Public Policy candidate at Harvard Kennedy School, I bring a unique perspective on how to craft a compelling application and interdisciplinary narrative that stands out from the crowd (my application success rate was 100%). With experience coaching friends and colleagues, I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Let's work together!

I went from not having business school in my future plans to crafting a compelling application within 6 months, ultimately landing admission at Columbia through their deferred MBA cohort. Whether you've been set on getting an MBA since day one or are in a position that was similar to mine, I can help you go from a blank application to receiving an acceptance! I'm the most helpful for those from a tech background and are looking for insight into what differentiates them in an extremely selective admissions process, where most applicants are in traditional finance. If you find yourself in this bucket and are looking for the "key" that separates you from every other business school applicant, I would be glad to assist you.

Coming from a technical background, I understand how to form a storyline and appeal to business schools through the resume creation process and answering difficult essay questions while weaving in university experiences and credentials. I have had non-traditional roles for MBA admitted students and I believe that I can help the most for students coming from engineering/computer science/data science looking to pivot into a business background.

I know exactly what it takes to craft a standout application. Together, we'll create a compelling narrative, refine your essays, and ace your interviews. Whether you're looking to pivot careers, accelerate your growth, or expand your global impact, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's turn your MBA aspirations into reality and unlock your full potential!
