Description
You've already done the hard part. The essays are drafted, the resume exists, your application is taking shape. What you want now is an expert eye to make all of it undeniable before it reaches a committee. With 20+ years in MBA admissions and three Poets & Quants Top 10 recognitions, I take what you've written and help you sharpen it to its strongest version. This is polish, not a rebuild. You bring your materials and we refine them together. We start with a working session where I read everything you have with fresh eyes, find where your story lands and where it doesn't, then spend our hours tightening it. Across our time together, we cover: - A full read and honest diagnostic of your existing essays, resume, and application - Line-by-line essay refinement across multiple rounds - Resume tightening for how admissions readers actually read - Recommender strategy, if you still need to brief yours - Interview preparation once invitations come It's built for someone applying this round who already has momentum and wants to cross the finish line at full strength.

A resume that reads the way admissions readers need it to
A clear-eyed sense of where the application was soft, and the fixes made

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.
