About David

Hi, I'm David! I grew up primarily in Toronto, but for the past few years I have been studying and working in Montreal. Throughout my grad school journey, I have personally been admitted to schools such as Columbia & UChicago. With the insights I gained through my own application process, I want to help you land your dream acceptance(s)! My background spans several areas of finance, as well as pro-bono work across North America and Latin America, giving me a unique perspective on how to tie professional achievements to personal values as you craft your one-of-a-kind narrative. In addition to MBA programs, I also offer coaching for Canada and UK college applications as well as MPP/MPA admissions. Whether you're preparing to enter an elite MBA program, aiming for top-tier policy schools, or navigating competitive undergraduate admissions, let’s get there together!
