I spent 3+ years preparing to apply to my dream business school programs. On that journey, I talked to hundreds of others also on this path, which helped me uncover best practices. I also worked with MBA consultants and MBA-prep organizations that taught me additional tools I could have adopted to shorten the time-to-apply timeline. Ever since I got into my desired program, I've advised many MBA candidates and provided my unique learnings, which have resulted in most getting into their top programs. I'm passionate about helping others navigate what often feels like an unruly MBA path.

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.

Here are the Consortium member schools: https://cgsm.org/member-schools/ As the first person in my family to graduate from college, I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed and confused by the MBA application process. It's a lot to do alone so let's do it together instead.

As a coach specializing in MBA admissions, I bring a unique perspective and set of skills to help applicants stand out in the highly competitive landscapes of Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and The Wharton School. Here’s why I am the ideal coach to guide you through this journey: Personal Experience from an Overrepresented Background: I understand the challenges of coming from an overrepresented background in the MBA applicant pool. Having done my undergraduate studies at a middle-of-the-pack state school and working in private equity, I successfully navigated the competitive admissions process myself. This personal experience allows me to empathize deeply with applicants who may feel their backgrounds are too common to stand out. Storytelling Expertise: My specialty lies in transforming seemingly generic profiles into compelling narratives that captivate admissions committees. I focus on helping candidates articulate their unique stories, highlighting the aspects of their experiences and personalities that make them distinct. By uncovering and emphasizing your authentic voice, I ensure that your application paints a vivid and memorable picture of who you are. Comprehensive Application Guidance: I provide end-to-end support throughout the entire application process. From brainstorming essay topics to fine-tuning the final drafts, I am with you every step of the way. My approach ensures that each component of your application—essays, recommendations, interviews—works in harmony to present a cohesive and compelling story. Strategic Application Planning: I help you develop a strategic plan for your application. This includes advising on how to allocate different parts of your narrative to various sections of the application. For example, I might suggest that Recommender A focuses on specific achievements or qualities, allowing you to use your essay space to elaborate on different aspects of your journey, thereby maximizing the impact of each part of your application. Theme and Narrative Integration: One of my key strengths is helping you identify and weave throughlines in your experiences that tie your entire application together. This thematic coherence not only makes your application more compelling but also helps the admissions committee understand your trajectory and potential in a holistic manner. Personalized Coaching: Over the course of our work together, I get to know you on a deep level. This personal connection allows me to tailor my coaching to your specific needs and aspirations, ensuring that the advice and strategies I provide are directly relevant to your unique situation. By working with me, you will not only enhance the quality of your application but also gain a clearer understanding of your own narrative and how to present it powerfully.

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.
