About Eric

I'm a recent graduate from Harvard Business School and was able to successfully use my MBA to transition from working at a startup to working at a multi-stage venture capital firm. I was also admitted to Wharton, where I was offered significant scholarship. I've transitioned a lot over my career - from consulting, to product management at a startup, to venture capital - so I know how challenging it can be to stare down a new path. I've reworked my resume for many different use cases, and I can help do that for prospective MBAs. I also used to be the editor-in-chief of my school newspaper so know a thing or two about editing and writing. I love working with people and have been a tutor or teacher my whole life. I've taught or tutored people from elementary school to working adults in chemistry, math, SATs, college applications, and the GED.

Why do I coach?

I have seen the impact of mentoring since I was in middle school. I started tutoring grade school students in Math when I was in 8th grade, then continued tutoring through high school in Chemistry and Calculus. In college I tutored at a local charter schools in West Philadelphia and volunteered to help low-income students with college applications and the SAT. Post-college, I taught a night GED course to working professionals who were looking to get their high school equivalency certification. Throughout all these experiences, I've seen how commitment and patience in mentorship can entirely change outcomes. I look forward to helping prospective MBAs achieve similar successful outcomes.
