About Jenifer "Jenny"

As a full-time MBA admissions coach since 2018, I have advised 130+ clients from 25+ countries across a wide range of industries, including consulting, investment banking, PE/VC, fintech, big tech, consumer goods, defense and aerospace, family business, law, military, mining, and social impact. I relish working with all my clients including those with the following profiles: • First-gen college students (FGCS) and first-gen Americans (as the daughter of two FGCS’s and a second-gen American myself) • Military candidates (inspired by my dad’s ROTC and military service) • Internationals (dual citizen of Ireland and the US who lived in Asia 22 years) • Third-culture kids (TCK) and adults (proud mom of two TCKs) • Non-traditional candidates making major career transitions (transitioned from a Japanese translator pre-MBA to a marketing manager for a major media company post-MBA) • Dual degree applicants (earned an dual MBA-MA degree; have successfully worked with many dual degree applicants) Having lived and worked in 10 countries, I bring cross-cultural fluency, strategic insight, and a deeply personalized approach to every client relationship. I’m happy to provide you with my metrics and additional testimonials – just ask! I began my MBA admissions journey as a dual MBA/MA degree student at the Wharton School and Lauder Institute where I served on the Wharton-Lauder Admissions Committee for 2 years. Post-graduation, I served as a Penn alumni interviewer. I also coached 100+ MBA students at INSEAD and Singapore Management University (SMU) before transitioning into full-time MBA admissions coaching with Fortuna Admissions in 2018. I have global, real-world experience across finance, media, and automotive manufacturing, including roles at Citigroup, Time Inc. (now Time USA LLC), and Toyota. I spent 15 years working within higher ed in leadership positions at INSEAD, the National University of Singapore, and SMU, where, as MBA Program Director, I doubled enrolment in SMU’s full-time and part-time MBA programs. In addition to holding an MBA from Wharton and MA from Lauder, I hold a BA in Japanese and English from Indiana University, Bloomington. I am also a member of the International Coaching Federation, and earned my coaching certification from New Ventures West. I currently live in the San Francisco Bay area with my family. In my free time, I enjoy writing fiction, practicing yoga and doing ikebana (fiddling with flowers) as well as spending time with family and friends.

Why do I coach?

Thanks to my coaching and lived experiences, including working with a number of my own coaches over the years, I’ve learned that we can make big life changes—like applying to and attending business school—with intention and in time, but we cannot do it alone. We need others, including a wise, committed coach that believes in and helps us make change. A skilled coach also witnesses who we are, guides us and gently holds us accountable so we can course correct when needed. Equally important, we benefit from a support system that provides advice, encouragement, and fellowship during our journeys. A trusted coach and support system encourages us to overcome our challenges, sits with us during our setbacks, and celebrates our transformations. I hope you’ll reach to me to support you on what will likely be one of the most transformational and rewarding journeys you’ll take!
