Hello! As an MBA student at Harvard Business School, a former strategy consultant at McKinsey & Company, and a graduate of Cornell University, I bring a robust academic and professional foundation to my coaching. My time supporting campus recruiting at McKinsey & Company, where I helped to lead application and interview prep workshops for prospective candidates, has equipped me with key insights into the recruiting processes of elite institutions that I now leverage to help MBA applicants craft compelling applications. As a strategy consultant-turned-entrepreneur, I especially understand the power of storytelling and can guide you in crafting a compelling persona that showcases your unique strengths. Having successfully coached more than 5 applicants through the MBA application process, I'm here to help you navigate your journey to a top business school. Let's connect and get started!
