Package Description:

Here's what I've learned from my own winding path through medicine, business school, and building a company: the clearest, most compelling version of your story doesn't come from wordsmithing — it comes from actually knowing yourself. Before we dive into essays, interviews, or strategy (and we will do those things), this package is designed to help you get clear on the foundation: Who are you? What do you want? And why are you pursuing this next chapter? Through structured conversation, guided self-reflection, and select assessments (like StrengthsFinders, the Enneagram, or Kolbe A), we'll explore what you value, what motivates you, what conditions you need to thrive, and how this next step fits into the broader story of your life. The result? You'll speak about yourself with more clarity and confidence — in applications, interviews, and beyond. And just as importantly, you'll have a gut check that what you're pursuing is actually aligned with who you are. This is the foundation everything else gets built on.


What you'll get from this package

For up to 5 schools: detailed analysis of "why [school name]" based on results of self-discovery

Your North Star summary — a written synthesis of what we uncover together; a key reference for application essays, interviews and school/program selection

Personalized assessments chosen based on your needs (could include StrengthsFinders, Enneagram, Kolbe A, DISC, Reflected Best Self, etc)

Application Strategy and Plan Document - outlines how we will get you from where you are now to your end goal. You can execute against this with me or on your own

Asynchronous Support Via Text and Email

"Laser" sessions - 15 minute rapid fire meetings for quick hit needs or emergencies; offered on an ad hoc basis in addition to regularly scheduled time

Coaching is not a one-size fits all product you just pull off the shelf and apply to any client. I believe strongly that we have to be mutually good fit for this relationship to be worth the time and financial resources that you are investing in it. Therefore, I require a free intro consultation prior to booking so that we can both make sure we are a "whole body YES" to the engagement before committing to each other. Once we know that we are both ALL IN, we will co-create your package such that we are using our time in the most efficient and effective way for your specific situation.

ex-Penn Med MD and Admissions Officer | Med to MBA Expert

Former member of the University of Pennsylvania's medical school admissions committee with firsthand understanding of what top programs look for in applicants. My journey includes earning an MD from the University of Pennsylvania, where I was a Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellow, and an MBA from Harvard Business School. I've also served as Chief Resident at Atrium Health, where I interviewed and evaluated residency candidates. I am especially passionate about (and qualified to serve) applicants who are not 1000% sure that medicine is for them. I am not here to talk you out of med school - rather our work together will help you crystallize your why so that you can (a) be sure this very expensive life investment is right for you and (b) tell your story in the most compelling way possible. Whether you're aiming for top-tier schools or need guidance on strengthening your application after initial rejection, I'm here to help you navigate the application process with confidence. Let's do this!
