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.

I've helped dozens of candidates on Leland navigate the CBS admissions process. I know exactly what you need to craft a strong profile, develop your story, and write killer essays. If you bring a decent GPA and strong test scores I can help you get to the next step of securing an interview. As an undergrad English major I'm very well suited to help you craft strong stories in your essays that will make you standout from the crowd. While most of my coaching is for students applying to CBS I've helped candidates with essays to many other top programs as well such as: Booth, Wharton, NYU, McCombs, Darden, etc. I've worked for & with colleagues that have gone to every top school and have visited most of the campus locations myself during my own appliaction cycle so I know what the different programs are looking for and can help you work that into your story. Please reach out to see how I can help you strengthen your profile and get into your dream program!

Applied to M7 business schools and graduated from MIT Sloan in 2022. As a person who came from a non-business background and was looking to come to b-school as a career pivot, I can help with anything related to career transition, picking the best school, telling your story, and the end-to-end application process. As someone who has gone through the application process and has worked with admissions, I can help you identify the most compelling aspects of your story to land the b-school you want!

I'm a Stanford MBA student who received admission to Stanford and Wharton. I provide unique coaching because I do not come from a traditional consulting or finance background, and I was accepted with my partner who is also a current GSB student. I'm so excited to help you identify why you want to go to business school by crafting your story and bringing your experiences to life. Prior to the GSB, I was a technical product manager at Capital One where I led frontend and backend product strategy for the Capital One credit card application for all customers applying for a credit card. As an MBA admissions coach, I will help you dig deep to identify your pivotal experiences and core strengths to create your story. Together we will thread them throughout your application -- from application strategy to recommendations to interview. More specifically, I can provide the following services: - Initial application strategy - Essay brainstorming, essay editing, and final essay review - Recommendations strategy - Final application review - What to expect in an interview / mock interviews - Waitlist strategy - Strategy for applying with a partner I have helped many students and professionals craft their applications, prepare interviews, and receive offers at their target companies and institutions, and I look forward to helping you do the same!

My applicants have been admitted to schools including GSB, HBS, Wharton, Sloan, Kellogg, Ross, Cornell, Booth, Haas, Columbia, & Rice. Across first-time applicants, reapplicants, and deferred applicants, they have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships. Aside from my experience coaching MBA candidates, I have spent my post-GSB time consulting for founders, early-stage startups, and investors across for-profit and non-profit spaces globally. This has allowed me to uniquely guide current or aspiring entrepreneurs and investors throughout the application process and, for numerous clients, beyond as I’ve continued to be a resource helping to navigate questions regarding financial aid, maximizing the MBA experience, internships, and post-MBA careers. The application process is not easy and for most, including myself when I applied, it’s straight up stressful. I work closely with a limited number of clients, creating bespoke coaching experiences for each, building trust and bringing clarity to an opaque process. I believe this approach has helped my applicants be successful. Whether you’re coming from a traditional background or not, regardless of your test scores or application ‘gaps,’ if you’re interested in showing the best version of you possible and having someone fully on your team along the way please reach out.

At the level of exceptionalism it takes to get into a top business school, your success comes down to a strategic and compelling story the admissions committee can't forget. I help you tell it. I graduated with an MBA from Wharton and a BS in engineering from Columbia, and I have worked in consulting, banking, retail, and tech at companies like PWC, Evercore, and Peloton. I started my MBA Admissions consulting journey as a coach with the Young African MBAs Business School Prep program. My coachee was applying to business schools for the third time, and working together, he went from 5 rejections to 5 acceptances and over $250,000 in scholarships. He enrolled at Booth and was admitted to other top schools like Tuck, SOM, and Darden. I launched my MBA Admissions Consulting practice in 2022 after receiving my Master Certified Professional Coach certification. I leverage that coaching training, my storytelling expertise (which I have shared as a TEDx official speaker), and relationships with top school alums and admissions directors to provide the best service for my clients. I follow a structured process that keeps us accountable and that I then customize based on each client's unique needs. I love to build a highly responsive and trusted partnership with my clients and provide best-in-class support right from the free intro call! If this feels like a match, I would love to meet you!
