Jonathan’s College Qualifications
As a Harvard Business School MBA candidate and Northwestern University alum, I bring a unique perspective to college admissions coaching, especially for those with interests in sports management, journalism/media, economics or history. My professional background includes strategic roles at YES Network and L.E.K. Consulting - I have been both an analytical advisor and a pragmatic operator who has launched consumer products. I have successfully coached students through the undergraduate admissions journey and more recently through the MBA admissions journey, helping them craft applications that highlight their holistic achievements and tell a cohesive narrative. Let's connect!
