Package Description:

Applying to a joint MBA-MPP means navigating two separate admissions processes with different priorities, evaluation criteria, and expectations. Each school is assessing you independently, which makes it significantly harder to present a candidacy that feels both credible and cohesive across applications. Many applicants struggle to show clear fit for both programs, default to vague “bridge business and policy” narratives, or submit applications that feel disconnected from one another. 🧭 I’m a current joint MBA-MPP student, and I work with applicants to build a clear, defensible “why both” narrative that holds up across both applications. We approach your candidacy as a strategy problem, aligning your background, goals, and story into a single positioning that reads as intentional to both audiences. 📍 We will cover: “why both” narrative development for both schools; positioning across MBA and MPP applications; school selection and application timing strategy; essays and materials tailored to each program; and interview preparation across both formats. ✅ By the end, you will have a cohesive application strategy, polished materials for both programs, and a clear, confident way to articulate your goals across audiences.

Is your story clear, compelling, & truly yours? | M7 | Non-trad, Gov't Apps

As a Harvard and MIT admit, I’ve seen that applicants who get in aren’t always the most “impressive” on paper. They’re the ones who know how to make sense of their experiences (even if they feel average!) and communicate a clear, compelling story that only they could tell. I help applicants do exactly that across essays, resumes, and interviews, especially for those from less traditional MBA paths, including government, public sector, and other mission-driven backgrounds. I believe access to these opportunities should not come down to having the “right” background, but to how well you understand and connect the experiences you already have. If you are looking to tell a story that feels both authentic and distinct, I would love to help you on your journey.
