Nashae’s MBA Qualifications

Coaches professionally

100+ people coached for MBA

I’m a Harvard Business School MBA, Techstars-backed founder, and VP of Product in fintech. I grew up first gen and low income with no roadmap. I invested in Forte and MLT, built the playbook from scratch, and learned what top MBA programs are actually optimizing for. Now I coach ambitious applicants, especially first gen and non-obvious candidates, with direct feedback, pattern recognition, and a clear strategy across positioning, essays, and execution. I’ve coached 100+ people across MBA admissions and career pivots. I can help with school strategy, career narrative, essays, resume, recommendations, interviews, and waitlist strategy. If you want someone who will tell you the truth and keep you accountable, book an intro call.
