Description
I’ll help you build an MBA application that explains your experience, your goals, and why business school is the right next step. We’ll start by deciding what you want schools to understand about you. Then we’ll use that direction to develop your essays, resume, and the rest of your application. You’ll have support throughout the process, from choosing schools to preparing for interviews and comparing offers.
What you'll get from this package
Essay workshop: We’ll talk through the experiences that have shaped your choices and ambitions. Together, we’ll identify your strongest stories and decide how to approach each essay, so you can start writing with a clear direction.
Unlimited essay: reviews You don’t need to get everything right in the first draft. I’ll help you develop your ideas, strengthen the structure, and remove anything that distracts from your message. Your essays should sound like you and give the reader a clear understanding of what matters to you.
Recommender preparation: We’ll put together useful examples of your work, growth, and contributions. Your recommenders can draw on these materials to write specific letters in their own words, with each school’s requirements in mind.
Complete application reviews: I’ll review your full application twice for each school, including short answers and optional essays. We’ll check that your answers are clear, consistent, and add something useful to the overall picture.
School selection: We’ll look at your career goals, background, and priorities to build your school list. The aim is to understand what each program offers and why it makes sense for you.
Resume support: We’ll make your responsibilities and achievements easier to understand. That includes improving individual bullet points, bringing out your impact, and making the document clean and easy to read.
Interview preparation: We’ll practise explaining your experiences, career plans, and reasons for choosing each school. You’ll get direct feedback on your answers and delivery, so you know what to improve before
Ongoing guidance: You’ll have help deciding what to work on next and where to spend your time. As questions or challenges come up, we’ll work through them and adjust the plan.

If a review needs longer, I’ll let you know so you can plan around it. You’ll do the writing and preparation, with clear guidance on what to improve and how.

50+ M7 & Top MBA Admits | INSEAD MBA interviewer
Many candidates applying to INSEAD, London Business School, Oxford and Cambridge are doing so with one clear goal: to move into consulting. Yet that is also where many applications quietly become generic. Admissions committees have read thousands of versions of: “I want to transition into strategy consulting.” They can tell very quickly whether you genuinely understand the career you are describing, whether the goal makes sense given your background, and whether your story is credible. I bring a perspective that most admissions coaches cannot. As a Bain manager and interviewer, I spent years evaluating candidates and deciding who was ready to join the firm. Today, as an INSEAD alumni interviewer, I sit on the admissions side of that same journey. That means I can help you with two things in particular. First, I can tell you how your career goal sounds to someone who has actually hired for that role — and help you make it specific, credible and commercially grounded. Second, I can prepare you for the school interview from the perspective of someone who actually conducts these interviews. Around that, we do the core admissions work properly: building the right school shortlist, sharpening your CV, developing essays that tell one coherent story rather than five disconnected ones, and giving you an honest assessment of where you stand before you spend weeks writing applications.
