Former Legal Professional | Current Wharton MBA Candidate
Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at The Wharton School, I bring a firsthand, insider perspective to the MBA admissions process, having successfully navigated it myself. I was admitted to and offered scholarships by several top business schools, including Columbia Business School, Kellogg, and Tuck, giving me a broad view into what different programs value and how strong applications stand out. After business school, I will be pivoting into real estate investment banking at a bulge bracket bank. Professionally, my background spans finance, law, and strategy. I have worked as a Portfolio Manager and Strategist at the real estate fund AGW Partners, as well as in various roles at the international law firm, Kobre & Kim. I also bring many years of mentorship experience through America Needs You and Big Brothers Big Sisters, helping students identify their strengths, build confidence, and translate their experiences into compelling narratives. I am especially passionate about working with candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, including those looking to pivot from fields like law or other professional services into business. Whether you need support with essays, interviews, or overall application strategy, I aim to provide thoughtful, practical guidance that helps you present your story clearly and authentically. I would love to contribute my firsthand experience and help you shine in the application process.
