Liz’s MBA Qualifications

Liz has helped clients get into these schools:

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Duke's Fuqua School of Business and extensive leadership experience, I am passionate about helping aspiring, non-traditional MBA candidates achieve their dreams. I applied to business school as a nurse and mom of four kids, and I was older than the average candidate. I didn't use a coach and was still accepted into a T15 program. I understand the difficulties and complexities that come with life, especially as a working woman/mother, and I'd love to help you find your confidence and put your best foot forward. If this is you, don't count yourself out -- there is a ton of value that you would bring to a business school class. My background includes co-chairing Duke’s flagship MBA leadership event and engaging in various leadership roles, which have equipped me with a deep understanding of what top business schools seek in applicants. I have a proven track record of mentoring individuals through complex processes, from innovation management at Veterans Affairs to global health initiatives. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique strengths and potential. Reach out to start your journey to a top MBA program!

About Liz

Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a coach, strategist, and storyteller who specializes in helping people break into competitive programs. Whether you’re applying to college, nursing school, or another selective program, I’ll help you position yourself strategically, craft a compelling story, and submit an application that stands out. With a background in healthcare, education, and global innovation, I’ve spent my career bridging the gap between potential and opportunity. I’ve helped dozens of students gain admission to top programs, including BYU’s highly competitive nursing school. As a Duke MBA graduate, published author, and experienced mentor, I understand how to help applicants highlight their strengths, frame their experiences effectively, and craft essays that resonate with admissions committees. I also know what it’s like to navigate nontraditional paths and competitive spaces, and I love working with underdog applicants -- those who may not have the “perfect” background on paper but have incredible stories to tell. Whether you need help with your personal statement, school selection, or overall application strategy, I’ll work with you to make your application as strong, authentic, and persuasive as possible. I also love working with students planning on going into healthcare fields, whether your goal is nursing, surgery, research, or anything in between. My coaching style is personal, strategic, and no-fluff. I aim to push you to think critically, refine your message, and bring your best self to the table. More than anything, I care about helping people find confidence in their own story and go after the future they want. Please reach out if I can help you reach your goals!

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know what it’s like to have big goals but feel unsure about how to reach them. Whether it’s getting into your dream school, breaking into a competitive program, or just figuring out how to tell your story in a way that truly reflects who you are, I love helping people bridge that gap. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone gain confidence in their own journey and realize they have something valuable to offer. I coach because I believe everyone has a story worth telling, and I’m here to help you tell yours in the most compelling way possible.
