The choice to pursue an MBA is a significant investment of time and resources, and it deserves a thoughtful approach. I'll partner with you on any and all parts of your process. I'm a Ross MBA (University of Michigan) with admissions committee experience at Ross. I've spent the last 15 years successfully coaching MBA applicants through the admissions process with my own firm (MBA Pathfinders) and with top-rated consulting firms (Stacy Blackman and mbaMission), and have helped clients earn admission to HBS, GSB, Wharton, Booth, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Columbia, Haas, Stern, Darden, Tuck, Johnson, Darden, INSEAD, and many others. I've collaborated with a range of candidates, and have had great success with those from more traditional backgrounds seeking a way to stand out among a sea of qualified peers, as well as those from non-traditional backgrounds who need guidance articulating how their talents and aspirations will fit into an MBA class. If you're looking for a seasoned, professional coach who's seen it all and can help guide you through the whole process, let's work together!

While working in the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Admissions Office, I reviewed hundreds of applications and learned what distinguished the successful candidates from those who were merely qualified for admission. As a member of AIGAC (https://aigac.org/) I spend time with the admissions teams of the top business schools to better understand what each school is looking for each year. Over the last 15 years, I have successfully helped both US and non-US-based MBA applicants translate their rich global experiences into compelling, relevant, and memorable applications. I am especially proud of the scholarship offers that my clients have landed, summing to more than $500K over the years! I deliver a unique approach to MBA admissions consulting, combining the art of storytelling with persuasive communication techniques, thereby offering my clients a distinct advantage over other applicants. I also specializes in helping MBA candidates who want to transition to a new career path, guiding them on how to convince admissions officers that an MBA will put them on the path to success in a brand new field.

I've been coaching candidates to help present the best possible version of themselves for deferred MBA applications. Applicants that I have coached have been admitted to Wharton, HBS, Columbia and more top programs.

As an IESE Business School and Imperial College London alumni (scoring in Top 10% of my classes, respectively), my MBA coaching journey began in 2020 after my experience at Harvard Business School’s Summer Venture in Management program, where I coached ambitious undergrads through their Deferred MBA Programs, securing admits from: MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, HBS 2+2, and Moelis Advance Access for Wharton. Since 2020, I have cultivated an MBA/MiM/Master coaching toolkit that encompasses: goals-first, logic-first, culture-fit first sense of executive and corporate storytelling for the M7 universities in the United States and for the top executive programs in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and greater-Asia. Now, I coach a selective clientele all over the world, with recent success stories involving international admits to UChicago Booth (with 60% scholarship), most notably. Over the past two years, I have learned the inner workings of every top program, helping a roster of 15+ (and counting) clients gain admission into their dream schools.

I was admitted to every school I applied to: Stanford (GSB), Harvard (HBS), MIT (Sloan), UChicago (Booth), and Northwestern (Kellogg). With the insights I gained through my own application process + six years of experience in the education space (developing programming for thousands of students, co-founding an ed-tech startup, and mentoring dozens of students 1:1), I'm excited to support your MBA journey!

As a former Stanford student-athlete current McKinsey consultant, I have helped prospective students with similar backgrounds craft their essays and narrative on why they should be admitted into top business schools.

I'm an admit of the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Having read over dozens of essays and resumes from prospective applicants, and drawing from my own successful application journey, I have a deep understanding of what makes a truly stellar application, including the lesser known tips and tricks that one really only picks up from having gone through the process. In my own application to Stanford GSB, and other top schools, I approached every little detail methodically and carefully. I'm committed to supporting your application with this same type of intentionality and thoughtfulness. Your success is my mission. Wherever you are in the process, whatever your background may be, I'm excited to meet you where you're at and serve as a resource for you!

Admitted to Stanford GSB’s deferred MBA program as a college senior, I offer firsthand expertise in navigating both deferred and regular MBA admissions. From selecting schools to crafting essays, excelling in interviews, and choosing the right program for you, I’m here to help you succeed.

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.
