VP of Admissions for Berkeley Haas; career pivoters and big dreamers
I help cautious people leap and impulsive people land. I'm warm and I'm direct, and I'll ask the question you've been circling around. I focus on helping you think clearly enough to trust your own judgment. My experience: I'm a tech strategist, Berkeley Haas MBA, and former teacher-turned-management-consultant, with a splash of finance (summer internship in IB at JPM). I've pivoted and landed career changes without a roadmap, which why I enjoy helping others do the same. Post MBA, I built deep expertise in strategy and operations at LinkedIn and Salesforce, and I know how big organizations actually work from the inside. I started my career as a Teach For America corps member, where I learned what relentless pursuit of results really means, and that great coaching meets people where they are. While at Berkeley Haas, I was selected as a Graduate Student Instructor for Negotiations based on exemplary performance, and I coached and mentored students through one of the most competitive courses in the MBA curriculum. By going for my MBA later in my career, I focused on the courses some MBAs gloss over: Power & Politics and Interpersonal Dynamics ("Touchy Feely"), the course co-taught with Stanford on feedback, conflict, and the conversations most people avoid. I also facilitated Dialogues on Race. Four courses in how humans influence, navigate difference, and build trust, and I've been on both sides of these classrooms. As VP of Admissions for the Haas MBA student association, I reviewed applications and helped candidates tell stories that were actually theirs. I know what gets someone in and what doesn't.
