I take a practical, efficient, and straightforward approach to MBA admissions coaching. Since 2018, I’ve worked with hundreds of applicants across a wide range of backgrounds, reviewing over 400 resumes and close to a thousand essays. Seeing this many materials over the years has given me a clear sense of what strengthens an application - and what tends to hold candidates back. - How I Work - My process is built around asynchronous, recorded reviews - a format I’ve refined over the years because it consistently produces clearer, more candid, and more actionable feedback. You’ll receive a screen-recorded walkthrough where I go line by line through your essays or resume, explaining how an admissions reader is likely to interpret your materials and where adjustments will have the greatest impact. This approach has multiple advantages: 1. It mirrors the admissions reading experience. Ad-coms review your materials without additional context, so I do the same. You won’t have the opportunity to explain or add context during an application review so evaluating your materials as-is is the most accurate way to give you feedback on what is missing and how strengthen them. 2. It’s more efficient. You receive a recording you can rewatch as needed, which makes the process far more efficient than a live call. In a 20‑30 minute recording, I can cover the same amount of feedback that would easily take well over an hour in a live session since there’s no pausing for note‑taking or back‑and‑forth clarification. 3. More candor, less hesitation. Recorded reviews allow me to be fully straightforward about what’s working and what isn’t, without the natural softening that happens in live conversations. That means you get clearer, more direct guidance focused purely on strengthening your application—not on managing the emotions of the moment. 4. No scheduling friction. I’m based in Europe, and asynchronous feedback ensures a predictable turnaround without any time-zone challenges. It also allows for more focused, uninterrupted analysis I offer live calls as an add-on to packages, but most applicants find that recorded feedback is more detailed, more efficient, and easier to revisit as they revise. - What You Can Expect From Me - Direct, structured, actionable guidance focused on clarity, narrative strength, and alignment with what MBA programs tend to value. My goal is to help you present your experiences in a way that is easy to follow, authentic to you, and compelling to admissions committees.
