Harvard MBA & Navy Officer | Master's Degree Coaching That Gets Results
Welcome! I help aspiring graduate students turn ambitious goals into successful applications. I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School along with master's degrees in Defense and Strategic Studies and in Engineering, so I understand competitive, rigorous programs from the inside out, and I know firsthand what admissions committees are looking for. As a Surface Warfare Officer in the US Navy, I've developed the leadership and crisis-management skills I now use to guide you calmly through every stage of the application process. As a private tutor with Varsity Tutors, I've worked with over 300 students, and the most important thing I've learned is that no two applicants are the same. I tailor my coaching to your story, your strengths, and your goals, whether that means refining your application strategy. The goal is to shape a personal statement that genuinely sounds like you and prepare you to walk into an interview with confidence. If you're ready to pursue your dream master's program, I'd love to help you get there.
