HBS Admit | 5x MBA Admit (3 M7) | 335 GRE | Impact & Tech Coach
Welcome to my profile! I bring firsthand, recent success navigating top MBA admissions, having interviewed at 6 of the 9 M7 + top programs I applied to and securing 5 offers, including admits to Harvard Business School, Kellogg School of Management, Chicago Booth, UC Berkeley Haas, and Darden School of Business. I scored a 335 on the GRE (170Q, 165V) and understand how to build a strong, differentiated application across academics, career narrative, and leadership positioning. Professionally, I have experience across social impact, early stage startups, and global companies, which helps me coach applicants, especially those from product, technology, and impact-focused roles, on how to articulate leadership, scale, and measurable impact clearly and strategically. Through my work leading and mentoring in women-focused product communities, I have guided early and mid career professionals on positioning themselves for competitive opportunities. I take a structured, honest, and encouraging approach to help applicants refine their strategy, craft compelling essays, and prepare confidently for interviews.
