As a recent graduate of UC Berkeley's MBA/MPH program, I’m passionate about helping others achieve their personal and professional aspirations. During my time at Haas, I gained unique insights into the MBA admissions process as an official student ambassador interacting with hundreds of applicants. I also worked in the career center, where I reviewed dozens of resumes and cover letters and led mock interviews for roles in healthcare, tech, and consulting. As a public speaking coach, I supported 25 students, including non-native English speakers, in building confidence and communication skills. When I applied to MBA programs, I worried that my non-linear career path and undergraduate grades would hold me back. By crafting and executing upon a clear application strategy, I earned scholarships to multiple T15 schools, including my dream program. I understand the challenges of navigating this process and want to help you present your best self to admissions committees. Let’s work together to make your MBA goals a reality!

To get into business school, you need to show ambition, tell your authentic story and leave the admissions committee thinking that the next and only thing you must to do achieve your dreams is come to their business school. I can help you figure out what story you are trying to tell and bring that to life with each part of your application. I can also offer interview coaching, which can be an unfamiliar process for those interviewing at Harvard.

I have personally been admitted to several M7 and T15 MBA programs, including Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School ($130K fellowship), and Cornell Johnson ($70K fellowship). Additionally, I am a recipient of some of the most prestigious and competitive graduate fellowships in the world, such as the Schwarzman Scholars program at Tsinghua University with only a 3% acceptance rate annually. Since then, I have advised 20+ traditional and non-traditional applicants to top business schools globally, including Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, The Wharton School, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, MIT Sloan, INSEAD, London Business School, Haas, Cornell Johnson, and Dartmouth Tuck, etc. I have developed a success framework and templates that can guide you through the MBA application process and maximize your chances. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique story. Reach out to start your journey towards your dream MBA program!

I've helped quite a few friends land spots at dream schools like Booth and Harvard Kennedy School. As someone who got into Columbia and Wharton (and chose Wharton) for my MBA, I really get what makes admissions tick. I absolutely love working with applicants to shape their unique stories, snag stellar recommendation letters, and nail those nerve-wracking interviews. It's awesome seeing people transform their ambitions into acceptance letters! Having been in your shoes recently, I know exactly what it takes to stand out in a crazy-competitive pool. Whether you're just starting to think about b-school or ready to hit submit, I'd love to help you craft an application that turns heads at top programs.

I have coached 70+ individuals who have been admitted to every top MBA program.

Over the past 5 years, I have helped my peers (through MLT and my time at the Fed) and coachees get into top MBA programs (as well as other graduate programs), specifically through their essays, resumes, and other application materials. I have a keen eye for editing and am honest and clear with feedback.

I have gone through the MBA process and helped many others along the way. I can help outline your strategy for applying, preparing for tests (GMAT or GRE), and ideating essay or interview ideas.

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.

Started coaching formally on Leland - my last client was accepted to HBS and Wharton! Experience with coaching with 2+2 programs

As an active Harvard MBA candidate, I understand the complexities of the admissions process from both a strategic and personal perspective. While working in private equity, I successfully managed the demands of a full-time job alongside preparing my MBA application. My experience navigating this process has given me valuable insights into creating a compelling application while balancing other commitments. I enjoy helping prospective MBA candidates with every step of their journey, from GMAT preparation to crafting a standout resume and securing impactful recommendations. Having gone through this process myself, I focus on offering practical, actionable advice tailored to each applicant’s unique strengths and goals.
