Kristen’s MBA Qualifications

Kristen has helped clients get into these schools:

I'm so glad you're here! I'm Kristen, an incoming MBA student at the Kellogg School of Management, where I’ll be attending on a full-ride scholarship as a Forté Fellow. I recently navigated the MBA application process myself and earned over $300,000 in merit-based scholarships from top-5 business schools, so I know firsthand how overwhelming (and rewarding!) this journey can be. Beyond successfully helping clients get into top programs, my experience includes leading strategic management consulting initiatives, serving as a Teaching Assistant in marketing at Vanderbilt University, and coaching new hires on storytelling and presentation skills. I bring a strong foundation in personal branding, essay strategy, resume writing, and clear, compelling communication. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining your final draft, I'm here to help you approach the process with confidence, creativity, and strategy. Let's turn your MBA dreams into reality - reach out and let's get started!

About Kristen

Hi! I’m Kristen - originally from Dallas, Texas, now living in New York City. 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 a management consulting firm, where I’ve spent the past four years helping people and organizations navigate big changes and new opportunities. Through that work, I found what I love most: helping others grow, build confidence, and take the next big step toward their goals. That’s exactly the approach I bring to coaching, too. This fall, I’ll be heading to Northwestern Kellogg to pursue my MBA and continue growing as a leader and mentor. Having been through the admissions journey twice - once for college and again for business school - 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!).
