Harvard MBA | Ex-Strategy Consultant | MBA Admissions Coach
Applying to business school can feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t have a perfect GMAT score, a built-in network, or a professional background to set you apart. I know, because I’ve been there. I grew up in a low-income community, worked my way into Deloitte, and earned admission to Harvard Business School without the kind of advantages many applicants rely on. I’ve also coached consultants and bankers who worried they’d blend into the crowd. What I’ve learned is that admissions committees aren’t just looking for high scores and polished resumes—they’re looking for people with a story. I help applicants surface the experiences, values, and strengths that make them memorable and compelling, even when they feel “average” on paper. From tackling essays and refining resumes to interview prep and recommender strategy, I’ll help you package your experiences into an authentic narrative that opens doors.
