Package Description:

How I Can Help 1. Clarify Your Direction Before applications, we define where you’re going. If you have schools in mind, great! If not, I'll help you identify schools that align with your interests, strengths, and long-term goals — not just rankings or brand names. 2. Build a Cohesive, Standout Narrative We’ll develop a clear personal story that connects your academics, extracurriculars, leadership, and interests. We’ll thoughtfully address any gaps or inconsistencies — but most importantly, we’ll identify what genuinely makes you stand out in a competitive applicant pool, and build your application around it. 3. Strengthen Your Positioning I provide actionable suggestions to elevate your candidacy, whether that’s refining how you present your activities, deepening leadership involvement, or highlighting meaningful commitments or experiences in a way that feels authentic. 4. Essays & Resume Optimization Structural feedback and program-specific / major-specific tailoring. We’ll ensure your materials are clear, differentiated, and aligned with each school’s values and strengths. I'll also guide you to articulate your ideas clearly, confidently, and with intention. 5. Recommender Strategy Guidance on selecting recommenders and equipping them to reinforce your narrative in a credible, complementary way. 6. Interview Preparation (If Applicable) Mock interviews with direct, strategic feedback — focused on clarity, confidence, and school-specific positioning. 7. Timeline and Application Management We'll set deadlines for each application item or milestone, from beginning through acceptance, and compare your progress against a tracker tailored to you. By the end of our work together, you won’t just have a stronger application — you’ll have clarity about why you’re applying and confidence in where you’re headed.

Coaching delivered via live sessions and .

My approach is collaborative. You are the expert in your own experiences, and I’m here to guide you. I believe that every applicant already has a compelling story, whether they realize it or not. Together, we’ll invest the time and effort needed to craft a narrative that positions you as someone who already belongs at your target schools. I know that applying to universities is expensive, so I aim to keep my coaching affordable while still providing high-value guidance. My goal is to make coaching work for you. If scheduling live sessions is difficult, we can also structure our work asynchronously.

Refund Policy

Inquiries will receive a response within 24 hours! I don’t create your application materials for you — instead, I provide tactical, hands-on guidance, frameworks, and feedback to help you translate your story into a cohesive, compelling application.

UChicago | Wall Street | From Pitching Founders to Positioning Applicants

Welcome! I am currently an MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and earned my Bachelor of Business Administration with highest honors from the Red McCombs School of Business at UT Austin. Professionally, I’ve worked across investment banking, private equity, and strategic finance, partnering with founders, corporate boards, and institutional investors to shape business narratives and navigate complex strategic decisions. I approach admissions the same way investors evaluate opportunities: through leadership, judgment, trajectory — and, most importantly, fit. The strongest applications show not only why you want a school, but why that specific school is positioned to accelerate your goals. I particularly enjoy working with applicants pursuing careers in business or finance, though I help candidates across backgrounds move beyond resume bullets and develop thoughtful, authentic stories about motivation and impact. My focus isn’t just essay polishing; it’s helping you articulate a narrative that explains your past, shows intentionality in the present, and convincingly points to your future — all while remaining true to who you are. I’d be excited to work together.
