Expert MBA Coach | First-Gen Journey, Multiple Top 10 Offers
I am a great MBA coach because of the unique process and framework I developed and followed to obtain admission to multiple top 10 MBA programs. I come from a low-income first generation immigrant and college student background. I have experienced first hand what it's like to undergo the application process as an underdog by multiple measures and emerge victorious. I know how to navigate the common pitfalls and how to build a competitive application that punches above its weight. In addition, I have a passion for passing on the torch to the next generation and pulling folks up as I climb. In my free time I coach/mentor multiple students and professionals that share my background and have repeatedly heard from them that my advice, clear communication, and encouragement was instrumental in helping them achieve their academic and career goals. If you share my tenacious underdog mentality, know you deserve to be in a better place in life, and want someone to help you punch above your weight and navigate all the twists and turns, I am the coach for you!
