Description
You have one school that matters most, and you want to get it right. Maybe it's a stretch you're determined to earn, or the program that fits your career so precisely the others are noise. With 20+ years in MBA admissions and three Poets & Quants Top 10 recognitions, I help you put your strongest possible application in front of one committee. We start with a 60–90 minute strategy session to pressure-test your candidacy for this specific school: where you're strong, where you're exposed, and what this program actually wants to see. From there we spend your remaining hours on the parts that move the needle most. This package typically covers: - Positioning and angle for this school's specific values and culture - Essay strategy and live development through multiple drafts - Resume review and tightening for admissions readers - Recommendation strategy, including who to ask and how to brief them - Interview preparation if you're invited This is execution, not exploration. It's built for someone applying this cycle who already knows where they're aiming.
What you'll get from this package
An application to your top school that reflects your best, most honest case
Essays and video statement frameworks that say what only you can say
Clarity on how this program reads candidates, and where you fit
Interview readiness if and when the invitation comes
The confidence of knowing you left nothing on the table

3x P&Q Top Consultant | 500+ M7 Admits | Story + Leadership Coaching
I've been coaching MBA and EMBA applicants since 2006 — which means I've worked through more admissions cycles, essay prompts, and school pivots than I can count. Poets & Quants has recognized me as a Top Consultant three times. Clients have called the work "transformative" and "the best help I never knew I needed." What I actually do: I help people find their story. Not the version they think they're supposed to tell, but the one that's true and specific and stops an admissions reader cold. That's harder than it sounds, and it's where most applications fall apart. My background is unusual for this field. I'm a Columbia MBA and a Columbia English major — and a former magazine editor. I'm also an ICF-certified leadership coach. That combination means I bring genuine writing craft and genuine coaching depth to every engagement, not just admissions strategy. My clients have come from consulting, banking, medicine, the military, entrepreneurship, filmmaking, and family business. They've gone on to HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, and programs across Europe and Asia. I work in English and Italian.
