Wharton & HBS Admit | Ex-McKinsey | Strategy-Focused MBA Coach
With admission offers from Harvard Business School, Columbia, and Wharton — where I’ll be enrolling this fall, I bring a firsthand, strategic understanding of what top, elite MBA programs are truly looking for. I’ve worked at McKinsey and now lead Corporate Development and Strategy at a private-equity backed company, giving me real-world insight into how to craft a compelling leadership narrative. More importantly, I’ve been through the journey myself: fine-tuning essays, navigating waitlists, and turning professional and personal stories into powerful application assets. I coach with empathy, precision, and honesty, and I love helping candidates unlock the most authentic and high-impact version of their story. Whether you're early in the process or polishing your final app, I’d be thrilled to help you get to the finish line!
