Stanford GSB '26 | Harvard, Wharton, Kellogg admit | Ex-P&G
I built a standout business school application by owning my story instead of trying to fit a template. I learned how to pair real leadership experiences with my core values to create a narrative that felt both authentic and compelling. That approach helped me earn admission to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and Kellogg - including multiple merit scholarship offers. I now help applicants clarify what makes their journey unique and translate it into a focused, confident application story. You should work with me because I have lived both sides of the admissions process. I was rejected when I applied to deferred enrollment in college, and that experience pushed me to develop a smarter, more intentional strategy when I reapplied six years later. I know the sting of “no,” and I also know what it takes to turn that into a resounding “yes.” My goal is to help you avoid the mistakes I made and present the strongest, most authentic version of your story to top programs.
