Nila’s Master’s Programs Qualifications

Welcome to my profile! As I'm currently working on my Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology & in Biological Sciences from the University of Chicago, I bring a strong academic foundation to my coaching. I help applicants craft compelling, strategic applications for top MPH and MBA programs by combining firsthand admissions success with real-world career insight. Let's chat so I can help you create a standout application and play to your strengths! I was admitted to multiple top Master of Public Health programs and currently attend the #1 program in the country. Coming from a non-traditional background, I had to learn how to position my experiences, motivations, and career story in a way that resonated with admissions committees—experience I now use to help other applicants turn their backgrounds into strengths. Whether you come from a traditional background or one like mine, I know what it takes and have insight from a grad student perspective too -- graduating this Spring! Before grad school, I spent ~5 years in strategy consulting, giving me deep insight into the professional backgrounds and career trajectories that top MBA programs value. I’ve seen firsthand the types of experiences that successful applicants bring to business school and have helped candidates craft applications that clearly connect their past experience to their future goals. This perspective—combining graduate admissions success with real-world consulting experience—allows me to help applicants develop applications that are both authentic and strategically compelling.

Why do I coach?

I could not have progressed through each milestone in my life and succeeded in new environments without the help of key coaches and mentors in my life. I love to pay it forward and return the advice & mentorship I've received over the years. I have navigated a non-traditional path and love every step I've taken to-date. I'm constantly learning and growing myself, so I'd love to share the experience, lessons I've learned, and perspectives to help you find your own success whether in undergrad, grad school, the healthcare world, or beyond! I'm sure we can connect on some commonalities where I can bring something helpful to your journey. Looking forward to connecting soon.
