Monisha’s Master’s Programs Qualifications
10+ people coached for Master’s Programs
I am a seasoned admissions strategist with a Masters degree from Yale University. Having secured admissions to nearly every top-tier public health and professional program in North America, I help applicants bridge the gap between their "on-paper" qualifications and a compelling personal brand. My coaching style is grounded in my professional background as a Healthcare Product Owner and Strategist. I don’t just "edit" essays; I help you build a narrative "product" that solves the specific problems admissions committees are looking to address. How I Help You Win I’ve successfully guided many applicants through the high-stakes admissions process using a personalized, ethical approach focused on: • Narrative Architecture: Moving beyond templates to find your authentic "why" and structuring it for maximum impact. • Strategic Resume Design: Translating professional milestones into academic potential. • Integrity: Providing rigorous, thoughtful feedback that ensures the final voice is always yours—just more refined. Whether you are pivoting careers or aiming for the Ivy League, I provide the strategic guidance necessary to turn your aspirations into acceptances.

Why do I coach?
Growing up across Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Canada, then applying to some of the most competitive programs in the world, my path looked linear on paper — but it wasn’t. There were real moments of doubt and imposter syndrome, especially trying to explain a non-linear, international story to elite admissions committees. What changed everything was mentorship. I had people who did more than give advice. They helped me see the strategy behind my story. They pushed me to think bigger. They helped me move with clarity instead of self-doubt.I learned that admissions isn’t about perfection — it’s about clarity, positioning, and self-awareness. That’s how I coach. I don’t just help people write essays. I help them understand their narrative, connect the dots in their experiences, and position themselves with confidence. No one should feel like they’re guessing their way through a life-changing opportunity.
