About Christine

Hi there! I'm a dual-degree graduate of Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School, and a non-traditional MBA applicant with a background in healthcare policy, government, and operational strategy. Before grad school, I worked in life sciences consulting and then pivoted into the public sector, where I supported the Massachusetts COVID-19 response and led Medicaid policy work for children and families. I've successfully coached applicants from diverse paths and love helping people tell their stories with clarity and confidence. Whether you need support with strategy, essays, or interview prep, I’m here to help—especially if you’re coming from a less traditional background.

Why do I coach?

Coaching matters deeply to me because I wouldn’t have made it through the MBA application process without the support of mentors who saw my potential even when I couldn’t. I know what it feels like to doubt whether your story fits the mold—and how powerful it can be when someone helps you own it.
