Kristen’s MBA Qualifications

Experienced storyteller who loves helping people express their identities and goals through writing. I see an MBA application is more than a set of materials to get you into a competitive program--it's an opportunity to reflect on your life experiences and develop a vision for the rest of your life. I decided to apply to deferred MBA programs just over two months before the Stanford GSB applications were due, helping other friends with their applications along the way. Together, we'll build a plan to make sure you spend time needed to put together a great MBA application and stay accountable to your goals. I'll make the process efficient, enjoyable, and transformative.

Kristen also coaches for Management Consulting, Career Coaching, and Performance. View all.

About Kristen

Growing up on a farm, I knew a lot about raising cows and selling crops, but nothing about tech or consulting. After 5 internships, an international fellowship, and a startup accelerator program, I've fallen in love with building impactful products and programs. Evaluating full-time offers at Bain & Company and Leland, I chose the startup path, and I'm now working full-time at Leland in a strategy and operations role. My passion for helping people have a healthy relationship with technology led me to co-found Ignite, a digital wellness movement that I operate on the side to help people refine their digital habits to be more present and more intentional. I hope that every role I have will help people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. As a coach, I specialize in helping people tell their personal stories, master the art of case frameworks and case math, improve communication clarity, and stay accountable to goals. I take a human, holistic approach to coaching, and above all, I want to help you find work you love.

Why do I coach?

During college, I walked into an info session and met two mentors who would encourage me to apply for programs I never believed would accept me. Those mentors and many others have transformed my life, and they made me want to help others elevate their vision for themselves.
