Kristen’s College Qualifications
Kristen has helped clients get into these schools:
Hi there! I’m Kristen, a proud Vanderbilt graduate (Anchor Down!) and soon-to-be MBA student at Kellogg. I’m here to support you through every step of the college application process, from building a strong resume and brainstorming essay ideas to polishing your final drafts. My goal is to help you craft a story that feels authentic, polished, and powerful — and make the process feel a lot less overwhelming along the way. I’ve been through the admissions journey twice: first for college, and most recently for my MBA, where I earned 5 out of 5 acceptances to top 10 programs. I know how much a thoughtful, well-crafted application can open doors, and I’m excited to help you bring out your unique strengths, experiences, and passions in a way that stands out. Whether you're just getting started or looking for an extra layer of polish, I’m excited to partner with you, cheer you on, and make this process as smooth (and even as fun!) as possible!

About Kristen
Hi! I’m Kristen - originally from Dallas, Texas, now living in Chicago. I went to Vanderbilt University (Anchor Down!), where I first learned how much a well-told story can open doors - and how important it is to have someone in your corner during the application process. After graduating, I joined Deloitte Consulting, where I’ve spent four years helping people and organizations navigate complex transformations. Through that work, I found a passion: helping others grow, build confidence, and take the next big step toward their goals. That’s exactly the approach I bring to coaching, too. In fall 2025, I moved from New York City to Chicago to pursue my MBA at Northwestern Kellogg and continue growing as a leader and mentor. Having been through many application processes - undergraduate and business school admissions, as well as consulting recruiting and interviews - I know how overwhelming it can feel. My goal is to help you find your voice, tell your story in a way that feels true to you, and make this process a lot less stressful (and maybe even a little fun!).
