Harvard MBA - Admissions Representative | Ex-VC and Consulting
I am a current MBA student at Harvard Business School and work closely with the admissions team as an admissions representative. As part of HBS' admissions team, I help prospective students navigate the admissions process with an eye toward HBS' needs and preferences. I'm passionate about guiding aspiring MBA applicants through the process in a way that aligns with their goals and ambitions. Before business school, I was Chief of Staff at a tech VC firm in Silicon Valley and decided to come to business school to build my own venture. I care deeply about helping people and beyond my corporate experience, I founded and scaled a nonprofit that supported over 20,000 families during the COVID-19 pandemic. When I applied to business school, I didn't have the "perfect" application, with scores below what the typical M7 norm is. So, crafting a compelling story was crucial to me being here. I believe a business education can benefit anyone, no matter their background, and that everyone has something valuable to bring to the table. I coach because I enjoy helping applicants figure out what that could look like for them and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
