HBS Admit & UPenn Alum | Expert in Top MBA Applications
Mentorship and coaching have shaped every step of my academic and professional journey, and as a Harvard Business School Class of 2025 grad, I’m excited to pay that forward. I immigrated to the U.S. at 8 years old with my mother, who was unfamiliar with the traditional college application process. Thanks to mentorship and access to coaching programs, I successfully navigated the path, applying to 14 schools including UPenn, Brown, Cornell, and Georgetown, and was admitted to 13 and waitlisted at one. After that experience, I co-founded the College Admissions Mentoring Program to help other students achieve their goals. Since graduating, I’ve remained involved in admissions at the University of Pennsylvania, gaining firsthand insight into what makes a strong application and how interview processes work. I’ve experienced the admissions process from every angle: as a student, a mentor, and someone who has worked directly on the admissions side. This gives me a unique and well-rounded perspective that I bring to my coaching. For my MBA journey, I applied to Harvard, Wharton, MIT Sloan, and Yale SOM, and was fortunate to be admitted to all. I ultimately chose Harvard Business School, where I began with the goal of transitioning from consulting into fintech. I landed a role at a fintech startup just a month after graduating. Over the years, I’ve offered informal coaching to many candidates through LinkedIn cold messages and my personal network and look forward to formalizing it. As an HBS alum, I understand what top MBA programs look for and how to craft a story that feels both compelling and true to who you are. Whether you're looking for help with application strategy, essays, or interview prep, I offer empathetic, big-picture coaching with a strong attention to detail. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
