Package Description:
Five 60-minute sessions delivered over 8–12 weeks. Session 1: Strategy & School Selection (60 min) We map your profile: work experience, test scores, education, and goals. We identify your differentiators: what makes you different from the thousands of other applicants with similar numbers. We build a target school list (reach, fit, safety) based on fit, not just rankings. Session 2: Narrative & Storytelling (60 min) We build your core narrative: the thread that ties your past, present, and future together. You leave with a one-paragraph story that answers "Who are you and why MBA?," the foundation for your essays and interviews. Session 3: Essay Strategy (60 min) We break down each school's specific prompts. You leave with a clear plan for each essay: what to write, what to cut, and how to make every word work. I help you see what to say and how to say it in your own voice. Session 4: Resume & Recommendations (60 min) We reframe your resume from job description to achievement story. We identify who should write your recommendations and what specific stories they should tell. You leave with a draft resume and a clear brief for each recommender. Session 5: Interview Prep (60 min) We run a mock interview based on actual school formats. You leave with feedback, a list of your weak spots, and a plan to fix them before the real thing. Between sessions: Written feedback on up to two drafts per essay or document (via email or Google Doc). Email support: Quick clarifications within 48 hours. Strategy questions stay in sessions. This package is for you if you are targeting top MBA programs and need someone to help you stand out, not just check boxes.

Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
Direct, practical, and focused on outcomes. I help you see what you already know but cannot articulate. Most of my clients already have strong profiles: good jobs, good test scores, good grades. What they lack is the ability to tell their story in a way that admissions committees will remember. That is where I come in. I am a sparring partner. I will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If you want someone to edit your grammar and send you on your way, I am not your person. If you want someone to push you, hold you accountable, and help you produce work that stands out, book the package.
Payment: Upfront before the first session. Cancellation / Rescheduling: 24 hours notice. Late cancellations or no-shows will not be rescheduled or refunded. Between-session feedback: Written comments on up to two drafts per essay or document. I respond within 48 hours, excluding weekends. Email support: Quick clarifications only. Strategy questions stay in sessions. I respond within 48 hours, excluding weekends. Refunds: No refunds after the first session. If you are unsure whether this package is right for you, book a single session first. Sessions expire: All five sessions must be completed within 12 weeks of the first booking. Unused sessions after 12 weeks are forfeited. No guarantee of admission: I help you produce a stronger application. I cannot guarantee you will get in.

150+ MBA & Masters Admits | Expert in Cross-Cultural Applications
I have helped over 150 candidates gain admission to programs including INSEAD, London Business School, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Yale SOM, IESE, Oxford Saïd, Cambridge Judge, and others. My clients have come from companies including Netflix, Naver, Nexon, Santander, and Accenture. Many of the people I work with are exceptional candidates whose strengths are easy to underestimate on paper, especially if they are applying from outside the US or UK or working in a second language. They do not just need help polishing essays. They need help understanding what makes them compelling and communicating that with clarity, confidence, and precision. I help you identify the story, judgment, and self-awareness that admissions committees are actually looking for, then express it in a way that is memorable without feeling manufactured. If you are aiming for the highest level and want a coach who understands both international applicants and high-stakes positioning, I can help.
