Ghita’s Master’s Programs Qualifications
Welcome to my profile! With a Master's degree in Financial Analysis from London Business School and a Bachelor's in Economics from Queen Mary, University of London, I bring a strong academic foundation to my coaching. My professional background is rooted in competitive positioning and strategic storytelling, sharpened through demanding, high-pressure work. At London Business School, I completed a rigorous due diligence engagement that pushed me to build competitive frameworks under real business constraints, the same discipline and academic rigor that top master's programs expect from their candidates. I've also applied this lens through a credit analysis internship at Bank of Africa and start-up strategy work, giving me a sharp eye for what differentiates a strong candidate from a good one. Having navigated this level of rigor myself, I know exactly what it takes to help you build an application that meets it. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations. Reach out to start your journey towards success!

About Ghita
I'm finishing the MFA at London Business School, one of the best finance programs in the world, and I got there from a solid but not famous undergrad. That's exactly the jump I help my students make. I've just lived this process, so I know what actually gets you in today, not advice from ten years ago. I also pay close attention to why people get rejected, which is often more useful than knowing why they got in. I grew up between languages and cultures, in a French international school in Morocco, and I speak three fluently. That means I understand how differently each system reads an application, whether it's UK, French, Italian or Asian. I've helped students into some of the hardest programs out there, including a top international double degree between Bocconi and ESSEC, and into the LBS MFA itself. I also work on undergraduate applications, especially in the UK system. When we work together you won't get generic tips. You'll get someone who knows exactly what each school wants and how to make you the candidate they say yes to.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know what it feels like to want a school that everyone tells you is out of reach. I got into one anyway, and along the way I learned that ambition matters far more than the name on your undergrad. I've seen how much a good guide changes things, and I've also seen talented people get rejected simply because no one showed them what the process really rewards. My father is a teacher, so I grew up believing that helping someone find their path is some of the most meaningful work there is. That's what this is for me. I want to be the person in your corner who makes a real difference to where you end up.
