Tyler’s MBA Qualifications

I’m Tyler—a Wharton MBA/Lauder MA grad who’s been on every side of the MBA journey. I didn’t just navigate the process for myself—I’ve spent years helping others do the same. As a Wharton Admissions Fellow, I led group interviews for dozens of applicants and saw up close what makes someone stand out versus getting lost in the shuffle. I also interviewed candidates for the Lauder dual degree program, giving me rare perspective on what it takes to shine in specialized and international programs. Since graduating, I’ve supported future MBAs across industries, geographies, and career paths—many of whom went on to schools like Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Wharton (including Lauder), Booth, Northwestern Kellogg (including MMM), Tuck, MIT Sloan, and Columbia Business School. I’ve partnered with admissions professionals from nearly every top 20 MBA program through internal mentorship and grad school prep efforts—leading events and applicant support initiatives that gave me a window into how these teams think and what truly drives their decisions. My approach? Direct, strategic, and no-nonsense. I’ll push you past surface-level “leadership” stories, help you uncover the narrative thread that makes your journey read as inevitable, and coach you to deliver interviews that land with authenticity and impact. The result isn’t just a strong application—it’s one that makes adcoms stop scrolling and say: we need this person in the class.

About Tyler

I’m Tyler—a Wharton MBA and Lauder MA alum who’s spent the last decade building ventures, shaping strategy, and helping everyone from Fortune 500s to scrappy startups make sense of ambiguity. I’m Texas-raised (Dallas) and Austin-based now, but I’ve also lived and worked across both coasts—and spent time on all seven continents before turning 30, including stints in Ghana, Argentina, Mongolia, and even Antarctica. I come from a consulting background and have always chased experiences that push me out of my comfort zone and into new perspectives. I work best with people navigating messy, nonlinear stories—whether you're aiming for a top-tier MBA, exploring dual degrees, or just trying to make sense of your path. I’m a lifelong believer that substance beats polish when telling your story. You don’t need a perfect story. You need to understand your own story—and learn how to tell it with clarity and conviction. When I’m not coaching or working, I’m usually at a live show, hiking with my pup, practicing Portuguese, enjoying a Belgian beer, or throwing pottery at my local ceramics studio. 

Why do I coach?

I coach because I remember what it felt like to second-guess everything—whether my story was “strong enough,” whether I belonged, whether I was just checking boxes. What changed everything was someone helping me see my story with fresh eyes—and showing me how to tell it with confidence. Coaching isn’t just editing essays. It’s reframing your narrative so it finally makes sense to you, too. That shift changes how you show up in applications, in interviews, and once you’re on campus. Helping people make that leap is one of the most energizing things I do. It’s where structure meets self-belief—and where your story becomes your strategy.
