Engineering Admissions Coaches

I have a PhD from MIT in AI/ML and am currently a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at Mila - Quebec AI Institute and Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard. I have won over $400,000 in fellowships and helped over 50 students get admitted into top universities (MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Caltech) while obtaining prestigious fellowships (Rhodes, Knight-Hennessy, etc.).

I’m Abigail, an AI Strategist at PwC and an admitted student to Harvard Business School. Beyond my professional work, I’ve coached students pursuing advanced degrees across a range of disciplines — from Psychology PhDs to Engineering PhDs at UC Berkeley to Math PhDs at top programs. I know how challenging and competitive these applications can be, and I bring both personal experience and proven coaching success to help you stand out. Whether you need guidance on developing your research narrative, refining your statement of purpose, or preparing for interviews, I’ll work with you to build a strong and authentic application that maximizes your chances of admission.

I have over 6 years of experience working with PhD students to help design their career development path. I draw from my breadth of experience successfully applying to fellowships in technology transfer and venture capital during my PhD, and making transitions to finance and corporate development after my defense. Whether you're looking for a roadmap to complete your PhD successfully or to make a career transition, I'm here to help you strategize and achieve your professional goals.
