Harvard MBA | Ex-Private Equity & Investment Banking

I’m a current MBA student at Harvard Business School and President of my section, with deep experience coaching candidates through the MBA application process. Before HBS, I worked in investment banking and private equity and I spent my summer interning at McKinsey New York—giving me firsthand insight into how to position applicants from highly competitive industries. I’ve helped many candidates successfully gain admission to top programs and bring the structured, results-driven coaching approach I learned through the MLT MBA Prep program to every engagement. My expertise is in helping traditional candidates—especially those in investing, banking, and other high-intensity industries—distill their stories, refine their essays, and craft a standout application. I focus on strategy, clarity, and authenticity, ensuring that your application not only gets noticed but also positions you for long-term success in business school and beyond.
