About Daniel
I’m a first-year MBA candidate at The Wharton School focused on finance and real estate, with a non-traditional background spanning both law and real estate investing. Prior to Wharton, I built my career across these industries before successfully pivoting and earning admission to multiple top MBA programs. At Wharton, I hold a leadership role within the Real Estate Club and I enjoy being an active member of the student life. I’m passionate about helping ambitious candidates articulate their story clearly, show up with confidence, and approach the MBA application process with structured thinking, executive presence, and authenticity.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know firsthand how transformative the right guidance can be at pivotal moments. Throughout my own journey — from navigating a non-traditional path through law and real estate to earning admission to top MBA programs — I benefited enormously from mentors who helped me see blind spots, refine my story, and show up with confidence when it mattered most. I also experienced how isolating and opaque the process can feel without that support. Coaching, to me, is about reducing that uncertainty. It’s about helping talented, driven people translate their experiences into a clear, compelling narrative and perform at their highest level under pressure. Through years of mentorship work with programs like America Needs You and Big Brothers Big Sisters, I’ve seen how small shifts in framing, preparation, and mindset can meaningfully change outcomes. I coach because I genuinely enjoy helping others unlock that clarity and confidence — and because I believe opportunity should be expanded, not limited by access to insider knowledge.
