Angela has helped clients get into these schools:
I work with about 5 comprehensive clients per round (plus hourly coaching for others) because I believe in giving each person the attention they deserve. My 90%+ M7 success rate comes from one simple truth: every applicant has a compelling story - we just need to find it and tell it right. I love working with: 🚀 The Entrepreneur Who Thinks They're "Just" Running a Small Business You've built something amazing but don't realize how impressive it actually is. I help translate your startup journey into MBA-speak that makes AdComs sit up and take notice. 💼 The Consultant/Finance Person Who Feels Generic Yes, there are lots of you - but there's only one YOU. I specialize in finding what makes your story different from the other 500 consultants applying to Wharton. 🎯 The High-Achiever Who Downplays Their Impact You accomplished incredible things but describe them like anyone could have done it. I help you own your achievements and communicate them with confidence. 🌍 The Career Changer with a Winding Path Multiple industries? Gap years? Drop Out? That "unconventional" background you're worried about? That's often pure gold - we just need to connect the dots strategically. My approach: Think collaborative brainstorming meets strategic positioning. I'm your biggest cheerleader AND your honest feedback partner. We'll dig deep into your experiences, find your authentic voice, and craft applications that feel genuinely like you - just the best, most compelling version. Real Talk: I only work with people who are coachable and willing to put in the work. I'm not going to write your essays for you, but I will help you write essays that feel authentically yours and get results! Recent Wins: MIT Sloan R3 admit (despite test struggles), scholarship funding for a single mom founder, multiple M7 admits for "overrepresented" backgrounds who found their unique angle.

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.
