Cristin’s MBA Qualifications
I’m a Harvard Business School MBA graduate and former President of the Armed Forces Alumni Association, where I spent my time working closely with prospective applicants navigating the MBA process. Before HBS, I served as an Army aviation officer, leading teams in high-stakes environments where clarity, judgment, and accountability mattered. That experience still shapes how I approach coaching today. Admissions committees are not just evaluating what you’ve done. They are trying to understand how you think, how you lead, and what you will do next. I’ve helped applicants at all stages, from people just starting to explore whether an MBA makes sense to those refining final essays and preparing for interviews. Sometimes the work is tactical, like getting a resume to actually reflect your impact or tightening your story so it lands clearly. Other times it is more foundational, helping you step back and articulate what you want and why. I’m here for all of it. My style is direct, thoughtful, and collaborative. The goal is not to manufacture a story, it is to help you show up clearly and confidently as yourself.
