About Sarah

I graduated from Stanford University with a BA in Economics and an MBA, and have had a product-focused career that has taken me across the globe. I come from a small town in Massachusetts, but have lived in eight countries over the course of my studies and career. Before getting my MBA I worked in product management for an off-grid solar company, where I managed interdisciplinary teams of 20+ people and a portfolio of over a dozen products. I am now working on my own company, and loving the excitement of the entrepreneurial journey! As a coach, I love working with people who come from "non-traditional" and international backgrounds who are considering applying to Universities and Business Schools in the United States. As an American with a global career I am well placed to help people from outside the U.S. bridge the cultural divide in their applications while remaining authentic. I am a particular whizz with all things writing and essay-related. I believe that we all have a unique story to tell, and would love to help you craft your story so that you can get into the school of your dreams and have a rewarding and fulfilling career.
