HBS 2+2 | Non-traditional (healthcare) | Narrative refinement
Welcome! As an HBS 2+2 admit, I offer my firsthand perspective navigating the application process while a student studying global health / health administration. Deferred programs value 'non-traditional' backgrounds, whether that be academic, professional, or something else entirely. My strength is identifying and crystallizing unique narratives that will be compelling for interview and application reader alike. Prior to matriculation at HBS, I've spent years in other highly competitive fellowship / professional experiences: Fulbright in Taiwan, Bain AC, and Schwarzman Scholar (<3% acceptance rate at the #1 university in Asia). My approach to coaching is collaborative, curious, and excited to help. Let's connect and figure out your best path to success!
