Perhaps surprisingly, I do not believe most folks should get an MBA. My particular passion with MBA counseling is talking through if an MBA (or other degrees) makes sense given your goals. The MBA is a large investment with an increasingly uncertain return. I was fortunate that my MBA paid off - I got the career pivot I was looking for - but in many cases I recommend another path to folks. Let's chat to see if an MBA makes sense for you, and if so, which programs you should target. With a rich educational background from Georgetown University and a dual JD/MBA from the University of Pennsylvania and Wharton, I bring a unique blend of legal and business acumen to my coaching. My professional journey includes impactful roles at McKinsey & Company, where I was interviewer trained and helped applicants navigate the rigorous interview process, and leadership positions at Goosehead Insurance (mid-market public company) and various startups. I have coached numerous clients, leveraging my experience in strategy, operations, and transformation to guide them through the MBA application process. Whether you need help with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. I find my biggest value add to be dispelling the myths and rumors you may have encountered on forums like Reddit or in talking with other folks who have not been throught the process in recent years. In my experience, the Internet has a lot of half truths, so I am eager to clarify any thoughts or concerns you may have. I firmly believe I was able to get into Penn's JD/MBA program because of my ability to create a compelling narrative. Beyond a good score and GPA, it really all boils down to a compelling personal statement. This is where I shine - let me help you with this and more. Whether you're looking to refine your personal statement, prepare for interviews, or strategize your application, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
