Hi! I'm a Harvard MBA graduate and received admission through the deferred admit / 2+2 program (with a GMAT of 760). I've had a diverse set of work experiences both before HBS (venture capital, social activism, government) and since (Goldman Sachs, The Economist, and now transitioning into creative work / poetry). I love coaching people and particularly enjoy helping international students, and students from unconventional or underrepresented backgrounds. Funnily I've also had a lot of experience getting rejected from places (across sectors and regions!) - which has taught me a lot about what works, and what doesn't -- and how to stay sane through it all :)

Welcome to my profile! As a current MBA student at Harvard Business School and Admissions Fellow, I bring firsthand insights into the MBA admissions process. I am interested in coaching and mentoring because I have greatly benefited from mentors who have helped me with MBA application. I am therefore eager to pay it forward to others currently going through the application journey. The process can be overwhelming and I look forward to helping you throughout your journey by creating a customized approach. I have helped numerous friends and mentees apply to MBA programs successfully. My background: As a nontraditional applicant to MBA programs, I have successfully secured admissions to 12 top MBA programs, including 4 full-ride scholarships. Having successfully coached over 50 clients, I specialize in helping applicants craft compelling narratives and strategies to stand out. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality—reach out to start your journey today!

Experienced Coach with proven track record of helping aspirants crack their MBA Admit. I have the tendency to go all in and I would not rest till we have together made multiple iterations to perfect that essay and application.

I love coaching & have helped applicants get accepted to Booth (full time & part time), Kellogg, and Dartmouth.

Having gone through the MBA application process and achieved admittance to the five schools to which I applied (Booth, Darden, HBS, Kellogg, and Wharton), I know the dedication required to submit compelling applications that yield your desired result. In addition to this, I've helped a number of prospective MBAs think through their interest in business schools in general, as well as strategize to improve their candidacy. This has ranged from advice on taking specific courses to demonstrate capabilities in weak areas (e.g., 3-credit online, quantitative course to balance a humanities major or a low undergrad quant grade) to tactical tips on navigating a waitlist successfully and receiving an offer of admission. This has also included guidance on GMAT and GRE prep and big-picture thinking to investigate a targeted list of post-MBA career options. I came from a more traditional background at first glance (investment banking, private equity) but had a non-traditional major (Art History) coupled with a personal passion (sustainability) that I hadn't yet explored professionally, but was committed to pursuing in the future. Strengthening weak spots while weaving together my divergent experiences and interests (art, music, Italian language and culture, volunteer tutoring, environmentalism, finance) in my application and detailing my targeted career path (sustainable finance) was a challenging but rewarding experience. I'd love to help you think through links between the many diverse and seemingly disconnected experiences we often have when applying to MBA programs.

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!

Of the 9 schools I applied to, I was accepted to 8, and waitlisted at 1. Given my unusual application timing (round 3 during Covid after being evacuated from Colombia with the Peace Corps while serving overseas) I have more first-hand experience than nearly anyone into these school's interviews and admissions processes. I received scholarships as well ranging from full-rides to partial at these schools and can advise on negotiations.
