Package Description:
I went through this process recently — as an Air Force officer with a non-traditional background trying to figure out how to make my story resonate with adcoms. It wasn't easy, and I learned a lot along the way. This package is everything I wish I'd had: someone to help you build your narrative from the ground up, pressure-test your school list, sharpen your essays, and make sure your application reflects the best version of who you are. Whether you're a veteran, a career-changer, or just someone who doesn't fit the standard mold, I know what it's like to be in your shoes — and I know what it takes to get to the other side.
What you'll get from this package
Personalized School List — Target, reach, and safety schools selected based on your profile, goals, and narrative fit, not just rankings
Core Narrative Development — A clear, compelling story arc that ties your background, motivations, and goals into a cohesive thread adcoms will remember
Essay Drafting & Editing — End-to-end support on every required essay, from brainstorming through final polish
Resume Review — MBA-specific resume feedback that translates your experience into the language business schools respond to
Interview Preparation — Mock interviews and personalized feedback so you walk in confident and walk out knowing you left nothing on the table

AF Vet & Wharton MBA | Military-to-M7 Coach with Proven Admissions
After six years as an Air Force officer, including combat deployments with JSOC, leading 200-person intelligence teams, and managing a $300M DoD cybersecurity program, I'm heading to Wharton this fall and went through the MBA application process as recently as last cycle. I applied in Round 1 and have since mentored R2 applicants who earned acceptances to Wharton and Columbia, so I know what a winning application looks like from both sides of the table. None of my military background maps neatly onto a traditional business school narrative, and learning to translate that experience into a compelling, differentiated story is exactly what got me into Wharton and it's what I help my clients do. I also know what it's like to be on the other side of this. I paid a boutique consulting firm an eye-watering amount of money during my own application, and while I got into my dream school, I walked away convinced that the value wasn't in the price tag. It was in having someone in your corner who genuinely understood your story and cared about the outcome. That's what I bring. I've spent years mentoring fellow service members navigating this transition, and coaching isn't a side hustle for me. It's something I'm deeply passionate about. My goal is to offer the same quality of guidance I received at a reasonable price point. Whether you're a veteran, active duty, or simply someone with a non-traditional background trying to stand out, I can help you find the thread that makes your application impossible to ignore.
