Mira’s MBA Qualifications
I'm an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School, graduating in 2026; I also graduated from the Wharton School as an undergrad. Having just gone through the admissions cycle and admitted to both HBS and Wharton, I have a deep view of what it takes to craft the right admissions narrative, choose the right essay topic, and hone all of your application materials. I know it's not easy! I have previously coached underserved high school students on college readiness and provided informal guidance and editing services to 10+ family and friends on undergraduate and graduate admissions. I think my broad range of experiences will help me inform where you might be coming from and what you might be looking to achieve with an MBA. Most of all, I am happy to meet you where you are and work with you closely to better understand YOU and your story to help meet your goals. I have expertise in business-focused roles across consulting, B2B software, startups and most recently in sustainability, so I understand how to capture the value of many types of experiences when crafting the application.

About Mira
I'm a current HBS student with experience spanning management consulting (Deloitte), big tech (ServiceNow, Zendesk), startups, and sustainability. I have helped many people in my personal network navigate transitioning both into business school and the climate space; my passion is helping people unlock their highest potential at the intersection of their personal interests and career goals. MBA Applications: As someone who has recently successfully gone through the process with a top-tier consultant, I'm excited to share my learnings to help you craft your application, whether that means choosing your school list, reviewing your resume and essays, preparing for interviews, or ding analysis. I know that having an extra pair of eyes can really help! Career Coaching: I've navigated several career pivots, from consulting to tech, from software to hardware, and from tech to sustainability. I can help you navigate career dissatisfaction, and plot a plan to achieve your goals, supporting anything from re-positioning your experiences to reviewing materials and helping interview prep. I am especially passionate about helping people interested in mission-aligned careers and sustainability.
Why do I coach?
I spent the beginning part of my career feeling unfulfilled at work; it was only after I made the shift to working at a climate tech startup that I was able to realize my full potential, before going to business school to further my career in sustainability. The path wasn't linear or predictable; at the beginning, I wasn't sure what career or next step would make me happy, what my strengths were, and what was viable. The advice I received from mentors and my network was invaluable in helping me find my way, and I've been passing it forward in my personal network. I joined Leland to help a wider range of people and share my knowledge of the MBA admissions process and the career coaching that I've been so lucky to receive.
