About Blake
I am a former Air Force officer, Harvard Business School grad ('21), ex-consultant, and current Chief of Staff at a Philadelphia-based company. When I was applying to business school, I did not necessarily know where I stood, so I sprayed applications across 6 programs (not recommended). Through this experience of countless revisions on my resume and essays, I was coached on and learned how to tell my story. I am looking forward to passing these lessons on to you!
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know what it is like to stare at an empty page and not know what direction to go. I had an unassuming upbringing and (relatively) boring military background and did not have an obvious story to tell, but through mentorship and coaching, I found a story that resonated with MBA admissions committees. I get a tremendous amount of joy helping others reflect on what is important to them and what has shaped their lives and helping them bring a reader or interviewer along in that journey.
