I spent 5+ years in the biotech / pharma world before getting my MBA / MPH at Haas. While I was there, I was involved in many different clubs and activities, but I believe two of them make me a great choice for MBA admissions coaching. First, I was a member of the Story Salon coaching team, a hand-selected group of students that prepare members of the Haas community to tell their story in front of 250+ of their classmates. We work 1:1 with students for weeks to prepare them to authentically tell their own story in a way that will best resonate with the audience according to their goals. I believe that the key to getting admitted to a top 10 MBA program is just that, being able to tell your story in the best way possible and tailoring it to each individual school you're applying to. Second, I served as the Head of Careers for the Haas Healthcare Association, helping students find opportunities within the healthcare world and preparing them for their job search needs. Through this I have worked with many students to help refine their target company lists, resumes, cover letters, and interview prep strategies. Similar to story salon coaching, I learned to very specifically work with others to tailor their application materials for what the company or role they were looking for. I found coaching to be one of the best and most rewarding parts of my time at Haas and would love to work with you!

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management and a current 4th year medical student, I bring a healthcare-centric perspective to the MBA admissions process. Additionally, I'm only a few months removed from being a student admissions interviewer at Kellogg and also spent a year on the admissions committee at my medical school. Thus, I have useful experience on both sides of the admissions process. My goal is to be the go-to coach for those who want to use an MBA to work in the vast world of healthcare. Describing healthcare experience in interviews and essays can be challenging, as it requires translating complex industry knowledge into language that resonates with a broad audience, including MBA admissions committees. I'm confident I can help you do just that. I've reviewed dozens of MBA applications and coached many healthcare-focused candidates. I feel well-prepared to help you leverage your medical background—or if career switching, to express your interest in healthcare—to stand out in your MBA applications. Let's work together to make your application truly exceptional—reach out to get started!

In my own application, I benefitted greatly from an admissions consultant who coached me to write the best essay possible to capture my unique qualities and strengths. This preparation and pre-write process was instrumental, and I will work with you on the ideation exercises that we did together as well as provide more general thought partnership around the key themes and stories you would like to highlight in your admissions essay. You want to ensure your application is well-rounded; I will read through your application in its entirety to make sure we use your essay tactically to fill in any missing details. Quick tip: When you submit your MBA application, you must be able to say without a doubt that the admissions committee knows who YOU are after reading your materials - authenticity is paramount. I have always been an avid reader and strong writer, and am the de facto editor for my friends and family. For credentials, I scored in the 99th percentile on GMAT verbal; received a perfect SAT score for my college applications in 2012 (2400); and a perfect SAT critical reading score (800). I will be able to help you not only with essay ideation but also with structural questions and revisions. While I am most passionate about essay ideation and writing, I am qualified to help on any of the short answer questions, as well as work with you to create the strongest MBA resume possible.

I will be the trusted partner that can help you show up, stand out, and break through the MBA application process. My goal is to help you articulate what makes you unique, going beyond your GPA and GMAT scores, to demonstrate how your presence will positively contribute to the MBA classroom. I will do this by helping you weave a compelling and cohesive narrative across the various components of your application: (1) Providing guidance on how to showcase your work experiences and trajectory, professional certifications, and extracurricular involvement, (2) Developing a strategy for your letters of recommendation, personal statement, and optional essay, and (3) Offering tips for networking, your interview, and the waitlist or deferral strategy (if applicable). How we'll work together: I start by kicking off with a comprehensive brag sheet and a ~2 hour kickoff meeting to create a personal roadmap for our work together. Then, we dive into your resume revamp, discuss your short-term career goals, develop your recommender prep packages, and work on your essay (including up to 4 revisions). I will help you with your data forms (the actual application) and will conduct one mock interview (regardless of how many schools we're working on together). I'm always here to assist with general questions that will naturally arise throughout the process.

Admitted to a U.S. top-10 MBA program with a full-tuition scholarship and stipend. 740 GMAT score. Have consulted with over five potential MBA candidates, providing advice and direction on how to position oneself for success in the application process.

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.
