As an MBA candidate at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and a former Senior Product Manager at American Express, I bring a wealth of experience in business strategy, cross-functional collaboration, and recruiting for fintech and CPG (the industry that I'll be interning in over the summer).

I also have experience volunteering for Yale's Undergraduate Admissions Office as an alumni interviewer and as an on-campus tour guide while at school.

Welcome to my profile! I'm an MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern), in the 1-Year program on a half scholarship. I was also admitted to Wharton / Lauder program on half scholarship (Joseph Wharton fellowship + Lauder fellowship) along with a full-tuition scholarship offer from Darden. Prior to pursuing my MBA, I spent 2 years as a Senior Associate at L.E.K. Consulting and two years as a Middle School Teacher with Teach For America Hawaii. Too many applicants try to figure out what the admissions committees want to hear and don't focus on their own story. I'd love to help you talk through how to bring your authentic story to life in a way that is interested and engaging to help you get offers and maybe some $$$ along with it!

Annie is an experienced and passionate coach who uses the power of storytelling to inspire humanity and empower individual growth. She went through the deferred admissions process last year, and successfully crafted a strategic & holistic narrative despite having a sub-par GMAT score, received interviews with Stanford GSB, UPenn Wharton, and Chicago Booth programs, and received letters of recommendation from highly influential people such as the business school dean, a Partner at a Big 4 firm, and world-class faculty. Now, as a Michigan Ross graduate and a deferred admit to the University of Chicago Booth Scholars Program, she hopes to offer comprehensive assistance to students who are looking to apply for deferred MBAs. At the University of Michigan, Annie served as an academic writing coach for underresourced first-years hoping to transfer into the competitive Michigan Ross business school, so she has reviewed over 20 application essays from diverse students, and deeply understands what top business programs are looking for in their candidates. As a first-generation college student, Annie has always highly valued education and conducts thorough research to further her abilities. She is seeking not just coachees, but mentees, who come from underrepresented backgrounds to provide complete resource guides, top-secret tips to the application process, and a thorough review and analysis of their application essays.

I will get you to where you want to be. My time in the Military has thrust me into many unknown situations where there is no clear path and I have charted that course for myself and can help others do the same. Over the course of 2 years I went from not knowing what a GMAT was to Scoring 710 on the GMAT being Accepted to both the University of Chicago Booth and Harvard Business School, and receiving a summer internship offer from both McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group. When I know the where I find the way and I am eager to help both military veterans transitioning and anyone else who is interested in this path. I am a passionate teacher which is why I choose to serve as a Green Beret, and I care deeply about the people I coach and mentor. The greatest job satisfaction is seeing the success of others as you help them to grow and achieve their goals.
