Haas MBA | Ex-Deloitte | Non-Traditional Path and Dual Degree Expert
As an MBA candidate at the Haas School of Business, I bring a unique blend of management consulting and social impact experience to my coaching. My background includes impactful roles at Deloitte Consulting and a private family office, where I honed my skills in philanthropic capital allocation and built an expertise in the climate space. I also bring firsthand experience as a “non-traditional” applicant. Prior to business school, I trained at culinary school in France, giving me a unique perspective on crafting a compelling narrative across unconventional career paths. I’ve navigated both advanced access/deferred MBA programs and the traditional admissions cycle and was ultimately admitted to both Wharton and Haas. I love helping applicants translate diverse experiences into clear, authentic, and competitive applications. My students have been admitted to top 10 MBA programs, secured deferred enrollment spots, and gotten off waitlists at their dream schools.
