Curtis’s MBA Qualifications
From a T50 public university to admits at HBS, Wharton, MIT Sloan, and 2 other M7s, I'm a tech-focused, leadership-driven applicant who navigated the entire process on my own. With years of experience leading campus-wide mentorship programs and offering personalized 1:1 recruitment support to dozens of peers, I've developed a strong instinct for understanding people's unique goals, crafting a tailored execution plan, and bringing them to life! Now, I'm using that same experience to help you stand out among thousands of well-qualified students. I'm bringing accessible, affordable, and high-impact coaching for ambitious students ready to gain Deferred MBA admits to their dream schools. From day one to decision day, I'll be there every step of the way!

About Curtis
Hi there! Coming from a T50 public university, I knew from day one that my ambitions didn't end with just my undergrad business degree; I had my sights set on an MBA. Throughout the past four years, I've immersed myself in technology, marketing, and business development, exploring different paths as I work toward finding where I want to make my mark. But throughout my constantly-shifting career interests, one constant remained prevalent: the power of mentorship. From being a mentee my freshman year to leading development programs as a mentor, these experiences became the most meaningful part of my college experience. This theme of community-driven, collective growth is the cornerstone of my story and what I believe set me apart in my acceptances to HBS, Wharton, and other top MBA programs. While I plan to spend my MBA narrowing in on my own long-term path, I know mentorship will always be at the heart of what I do.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I've been supported every step of the way throughout my life. From older peers helping me improve my rhythmic accuracy on the violin to similarly-aged peers introducing me to program management, many of my core accomplishments can be attributed to my strong support system, and I'm eager to pay it forward through accessible and affordable MBA coaching.
