90%+ Success Rate || Storytelling Expert || HSW & M7 Specialist
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.
