Former Kellogg Part-Time MBA Director of Admissions
Admissions experience from the other side of the table. For 11 years, I led admissions for Kellogg's Part-Time MBA Program. Experience evaluating MBA candidates, as I personally reviewed applications, interviewed hundreds of candidates, and counseled prospective students and reapplicants. I've had a career focused on developing people. Beyond admissions, I've spent much of my career advising, mentoring, and developing students and professionals. I bring that coaching perspective to helping you identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and tell your story.
