I come from a tech background with degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering and work experience at a large tech company and building a startup. I initially struggled to complete a strong application since I viewed my background as too technical and found it difficult to split my time between a demanding job, prepping for the GMAT, and writing multiple essays. After overcoming these challenges the hard way and earning acceptance to the schools I applied; I'd like to help clients up their best application forward and gain admission to their dream programs.

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.

Most recently, I serves as a Strategy & Operations MBA Intern at Google, working within the Google Ads division. At Sloan, I hold leadership positions as President of the Retail & Consumer Goods Club and SVP of Admissions for Sloan Women in Management (SWIM), where I work directly with the Admissions Office to recruit and assist candidates.

Of the 9 schools I applied to, I was accepted to 8, and waitlisted at 1. Given my unusual application timing (round 3 during Covid after being evacuated from Colombia with the Peace Corps while serving overseas) I have more first-hand experience than nearly anyone into these school's interviews and admissions processes. I received scholarships as well ranging from full-rides to partial at these schools and can advise on negotiations.

HBS '23 (MBA with Distinction) | Cambridge MPhil | Non-Traditional Background Coach (Former Diplomat) | Former International MBA Applicant | Coached ~60 people in last decade | My MBA admissions insights are shaped by personal rejection and success across two cycles. Former consulting coach & tutor at HBS. ------------ I bring a unique perspective to MBA admissions, having experienced both rejection and success firsthand. After initially being unsuccessful in my applications, I reapplied and secured admission to Harvard Business School (HBS) – without the help of a consultant. Through significant effort and independent research, I gained the insights needed to stand out. Looking back, having a mentor like myself – someone who understands the process and how to succeed – would have made the journey far more efficient. I hold a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Warwick, an MPhil in Development Economics from Jesus College, University of Cambridge, and an MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School. As a non-traditional candidate, I became a diplomat at just 25 and served in five High Commissions and Embassies, giving me a unique perspective on navigating the admissions process outside the traditional MBA applicant pool. Over the years, I have mentored numerous aspiring MBA candidates, guiding them through every step of the process, from crafting outstanding applications to excelling in interviews. My proven strategies, built on real-world experience and a track record of success, equip me to help candidates from all backgrounds achieve their MBA aspirations. I know what it takes to succeed because I have lived it – and I am here to help you do the same.
