6+ Years of Coaching | CBS '26, Media & Tech | 5/5 MBA Acceptances
As a former journalist and publicist, I bring a unique perspective to MBA coaching, especially for those who may identify as "nontraditional" MBA applicants like myself. After graduating from Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism, I honed my skills at major brands like Apple, Pixar Animation Studios, Capcom, and Dolby, where I prepared C-suite executives for high-stakes media appearances, developed strategic messaging for major launches, and crafted public-facing materials. I'm a recent graduate of Columbia Business School, where I specialized in Marketing and Media & Technology, served as co-president of the Media Management Association for 200+ members, and was a member of the Hermes Society, acting on behalf of Admissions to lead tours and speak with prospective students. I'm also a proud member of The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management. I have 6+ years of experience as an education essay consultant, working with students applying to MBA programs, medical schools, and undergrad, leading to acceptances at top schools. I myself applied to five schools during my MBA journey and was admitted to all five: CBS, Kellogg, Yale SOM, NYU Stern, and UCLA Anderson. I know the ins and outs of this process, and my background as a writer and publicist equips me to help you uncover your unique narrative, polish your essays, and shine during interviews. Everyone has a story to tell, and I can't wait to help you discover and craft yours!
