Alison’s MBA Qualifications
I'm a Wharton MBA graduate who has recruited MBA candidates at BCG and done undergraduate admissions interviewing at WashU, so I understand what evaluators are actually looking for on the other side of the table. My coaching style is direct and strategic. I won't sugarcoat your application or tell you what you want to hear. I'll help you figure out what actually makes you a compelling candidate, where your story has gaps, and how to close them before you hit submit.

About Alison
I coach high-achievers who have the resume and still feel like something's missing - and I actually try to understand why. For a long time, I had the resume that was supposed to mean I had it together. P&G, Wharton, BCG - a series of moves that looked confident and deliberate from the outside. And a lot of the time, they were. But underneath that, I still had moments of feeling completely lost. Unsure if I was on the right path, wondering if I was capable of more, and not knowing how to figure that out. The arc looks clean in hindsight. In the middle of it, it didn't always feel that way. What helped me navigate it were mentors, coaches, and honest conversations that gave me the clarity I couldn't find on my own, and the confidence to keep making bold moves even when I wasn't sure they'd pay off. That's why I coach. I work with early-career professionals and consultants who are ambitious, high-achieving, and quietly wondering if they're on the right path. I bring a background in psychological and brain sciences alongside my business experience - which means I don't just help people optimize their next move, I help them understand what's actually driving their decisions and what's getting in the way. My approach is direct. I won't tell you what you want to hear. I'll help you get honest with yourself and build a real plan from there.
Why do I coach?
I know what it feels like to be smart, ambitious, and completely unsure of your next move. I've been there - overthinking, feeling unfulfilled, wondering if I was on the right path. Coaching helped me find clarity when I couldn't find it on my own. I do this because I want to be that person for someone else. Not to tell you what to do, but to help you find the clarity I wish I'd had sooner.
