I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to plan for the future while you’re still figuring out what direction you want to take. When I first began exploring deferred MBA programs, I was in the same place—unsure exactly what I wanted the next few years to look like but eager to create a foundation of security, growth, and access to further education. For me, the process became as much about self-discovery as it was about applications. It pushed me to reflect deeply on what motivates me, where I’ve created impact, and how I want to continue learning. I’m a recent graduate of Dartmouth College where I studiedEnvironmental Studies and Computer Science. My academic path has centered around using data and systems thinking to address environmental and energy challenges. Professionally, I’ve worked at Amazon in their Energy Portfolio Management team, where I built analytical tools that improved renewable energy data systems and helped manage a $X billion portfolio of energy project securities. I’ve also conducted clean energy and sustainability research through nonprofits and coursework, giving me a strong foundation in both the technical and strategic sides of the climate and business landscape. Across these experiences, I’ve developed a skill set that blends analytical rigor, structured problem-solving, and storytelling, skills that are essential not only in business but also in communicating your unique story to MBA admissions committees. I’ve learned how to identify the throughline across diverse experiences and articulate it in a way that feels authentic and intentional. What I bring to coaching is empathy, structure, and clarity. I’ve been through the uncertainty and pressure of trying to “figure it all out” while still in college, and I know that the deferred MBA process can feel abstract or intimidating at times. My goal is to make it approachable, organized, and deeply personal. Whether you’re just exploring the idea of a deferred MBA or already drafting essays, I’ll help you reflect on your experiences, shape your long-term vision, and communicate your story in a way that feels both strategic and true to you.
