Welcome to my profile! As a current MBA student at The Wharton School and a Master in Law candidate at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, I bring a unique blend of business and legal expertise to my coaching. Coming from a non-traditional background of public policy, I know how daunting it can be to apply to MBA programs. Prior to Wharton, I spent 5 years at the American Financial Services Association, where I advised consumer lending companies on state legislative and regulatory issues. I am also a disability inclusion advocate, serving on the board of a nonprofit called Full Spectrum Agency for Autistic adults. I am also the President of Wharton's Disability Empowerment & Action League. Before becoming a Leland coach, I have coached prospective students, helping them navigate the competitive MBA admissions process. I am especially excited to work with applicants from non-traditional backgrounds or who are passionate about disability. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that highlights your strengths and sets you apart. Reach out to start your journey to an elite MBA program!

Never in my life could I have dreamed about ending up in Stanford. But I did. I went to school in Egypt and didn't have role models who obtained advanced degrees, let alone from the top MBA program in the world. It is not impossible. I am here to help as many people from a non traditional background end up in Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Columbia and other top schools. I have helped numerous friends with their GSB, HBS, Wharton applications. I am here to do the same for you. From strategizing, to outlining the essays to making direct edits.

Applicants with degrees from state schools 3. Applicants coming from management consulting - helping you stand out 4. First-gen American applicants - helping bring your background and story to life 3. Fellowship applications (e.g., Jefferson Fellowship - Darden, Knight-Hennessy - Stanford GSB)

When I applied to business school in 2021, I went all-in on just two programs: Stanford GSB and Harvard Business School. It was a high-risk strategy, but it paid off—I was admitted to both.
