Alex’s MBA Qualifications
Alex has helped clients get into these schools:
I love mentoring and coaching students and applicants - I regularly volunteer my time with the Berkeley Haas entrepreneurship program by providing course content, speaking opportunities, mentorship hours, and coaching. I also regularly support incoming MBA and MPH students with application review, interview prep, and more. While at Haas, I worked with the MBA & MPH admissions committees for a year and picked up a bunch of tips and tricks to hack the process! My journey: pre-med undergrad > biotech scientist > healthcare management consulting > grad school > healthcare entrepreneurship & venture capital

About Alex
My approach to MBA coaching is built on four pillars: (1) Applicant-centricity, (2) Holistic preparation, (3) Iterative improvement, and (4) Business school optimization. For specific sub-groups of applicants, I can provide additional value, specifically: (1) UC Berkeley Haas applicants, (2) healthcare-focused MBA and/or MBA/MPH applicants (including insider AdComm knowledge from UC Berkeley Haas), (3) VC or entrepreneurship-oriented applicants. I'm flexible outside my listed availabilities - please message me to find a time that works for you. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xI9-hdorsfVfdsEbmuSJ2NAH8xBWJsaF/view?usp=sharing
