Jasmine’s MBA Qualifications

When I applied to HBS, I didn’t have a coach, an admissions pipeline, or a blueprint — so I built one. That journey taught me two things: first, you don’t need a perfect background to get into a top MBA program; second, your story matters more than your stats. My approach is practical, encouraging, and story-driven. I focus on helping applicants uncover their authentic “why,” structure their essays like a consultant, and prepare for interviews with poise. Whether you’re pivoting from a mission-driven or unconventional path, I’ll help you turn your experience into your edge.
