Most AI coaches will teach you what's possible. I'll help you figure out what's actually worth building and then build it, without writing a single line of code. I've been advising on AI strategy and policy since 2018, well before most professionals were paying attention. I've used AI to automate my own workflows for years, advised a $22B federal department on AI workforce strategy at Deloitte, and built a startup that scaled across 81 countries -- entirely with no-code tools. My recent work includes Stanford's Accelerator for Learning, where I've partnered directly with OpenAI and Anthropic, and teaching entrepreneurship at Stanford. I was also selected as one of 40 global experts for the EdSAFE AI Alliance, shaping international frameworks for responsible AI in education and workforce development. What makes my coaching different is the same thing that makes me useful: I'm a non-technical builder, and I'm not embarrassed about it! I know what's achievable without a dev team, without a technical co-founder, and without months of setup. My focus is on prompting methodology -- how to engineer the most relevant outputs from AI tools with the least back-and-forth, the lowest risk, and the most durable results. We build systems that hold up after our sessions end. My goal isn't a long coaching relationship. It's to get you AI-native and independent as fast as possible, usually in 2–4 sessions. Every workflow we build, you own. Every prompt we engineer, you understand well enough to adapt yourself. Here are some things I've built & can teach you to build: 🗓️ Weekly accomplishment generator: paste your calendar and notes into Claude, get a polished weekly summary ready for your manager, your performance review, or LinkedIn. No more Sunday night scramble. 📰 Competitive research digest: a Make automation monitors your chosen sources and routes them to Claude weekly. One-page brief, actually worth reading. You show up to every conversation informed. ✍️ Content repurposer: one piece of writing goes in, a LinkedIn post, newsletter draft, and three takeaways for Tiktok & Reels come out. One input, three outputs, zero blank page. 🤝 Personal CRM nudger: Make flags contacts you haven't reached in 60+ days, Claude drafts the re-engagement note. Your network stays warm without you having to remember anyone. ☀️ Daily priority engine: dump your task list into Claude each morning, get back a ranked list with reasoning and time estimates. Less decision fatigue, more forward motion. These are real workflows, not demos. I use most of them myself, and we'll build yours to fit your actual role, not a generic template! My tools of choice are Make and Claude, but the methodology transfers to ChatGPT, Zapier, Notion AI, and more. Whatever you're working with, we'll meet you there. I'm especially helpful to: 🎯 Non-technical professionals in consulting, finance, education, and government expected to be AI-native but never taught how 🎓 Recent college and MBA grads entering roles where AI fluency is assumed but never taught 🏗️ Founders and operators who need systems before they can afford systems 🔁 Professionals who've experimented with AI tools but haven't made them stick

About Angela

🎯 I'm an Entrepreneurship Instructor at Stanford who teaches ambitious founders while coaching high-achievers into M7 MBAs, top Masters programs, and elite consulting careers. 🏆 I was admitted to two of the world's most selective programs: Stanford's Master's in International Policy (fewer than 30 students annually) and UPenn's Huntsman Dual Degree Program (50 students globally). 💼 Previously I was a recruiting lead at Deloitte, where I hired for both campus and experienced roles across consulting. I've also founded Stanford's Education Entrepreneurship Hub and serve as an angel investor backing early-stage founders. 🎓 I’ve helped hundreds of mentees gain acceptances to Harvard (HBS + HKS), Stanford (GSB + various MA and MS degrees), Wharton, Columbia (CBS + SIPA), MIT Sloan, Kellogg, Booth, and others – with scholarships!. They've also landed offers at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, and leading tech companies. 📈 I've created career products trusted by 11,000+ professionals and helped hundreds of candidates navigate the most competitive programs and roles in the world. ❤️ I was the unlikely admit who became the insider - growing up, I never imagined I'd be teaching at Stanford or helping others crack the code of elite institutions. That outsider-turned-insider perspective is exactly why my clients succeed where others don't! I specialize in supporting: – MBA – M7 MBA candidates from tech/entrepreneurship professionals who need help framing the scale of their impact, consulting/finance backgrounds who need differentiation, international applicants navigating the U.S.-specific nuances, and career changers with complex narratives requiring strategic positioning – MASTERS – Policy and education innovation (e.g. Stanford Learning Design & Technology) programs, plus other competitive graduate programs requiring compelling personal statements and clear career vision. – CONSULTING – MBB and Big 4 recruitment for both campus (MBA and undergraduate) and experienced hire candidates. As a former lead hiring manager who recruited for both pathways, I know exactly what firms look for at every level. – STARTUP & ENTREPRENEURSHIP – First-time founders seeking product-market fit (I teach entrepreneurship courses at Stanford and mentor through various accelerator programs) and fundraising-focused founders. My angel investing and founder experience gives me unique insight into what makes ventures compelling. – GENERAL CAREER COACHING – High-achieving professionals navigating career transitions, leadership development, and strategic positioning for competitive roles across industries – Final Thoughts – ⚡ My Approach: I don't do hand-holding. I do strategic clarity, honest feedback, and premium results. Clients describe working with me as the difference between hoping for the best and making success inevitable. 💰 My coaching is premium because the outcomes are premium: I work with a select group of high-achieving clients each cycle who are serious about results, not just participation. When you invest in working with me, you're accessing insider knowledge that most consultants simply don't have! 🚀 Ready to Get Started? If you're serious about securing admits to programs that will define your future, let's talk. I work exclusively with ambitious professionals who understand that the right strategy, insider knowledge, and proven execution aren't just nice-to-have, they're non-negotiable.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know what it feels like to wonder if doors like Stanford are meant for someone like me. My mentors believed in me before I believed in myself and that changed everything. Now, I get to be that person for others. The mentors who transformed my life didn't just give me strategy – they gave me permission to dream bigger and the tools to make it happen. That's exactly what I do for my clients. My approach is different: I don't just help you craft applications - I help you discover the leader you're becoming. Through our intensive work together, you'll uncover your authentic story, clarify goals that truly align with who you are, and build the unshakeable confidence that top programs, companies, and funds recognize immediately. By the time you hit submit, you won't just be prepared - you'll be transformed. You'll own your story and feel like you absolutely belong in those rooms you're reaching for. That transformation is what drives everything I do.
