HBS MBA with Distinction | Ex-Google & BCG | Essays, Strategy & Interviews
I graduated from Harvard Business School in 2026 with Distinction (First- and Second-Year Honors, top 15-20% of the class), served as CFO of the HBS Latino Student Organization, and was a Finance and Accounting tutor for first-year students. Before HBS, I graduated Magna Cum Laude in Economics from UChicago, spent four years as an Operations Program Manager at Google, and did my MBA summer at BCG. Today I lead enterprise deployments at Pelico, an AI startup. I've mentored Hispanic Scholarship Fund scholars since 2019 and now sit on its Advisory Council. I know what adcoms look for in leadership stories, and how to help applicants from operations, tech and non-traditional backgrounds stand out. I went the deferred MBA route myself, so I also work with college seniors and early-career applicants on deferred programs like HBS 2+2. I help with school selection, your core narrative, essays, resume, recommender prep, and mock interviews for HBS and other M7/T15 programs.
