Donna Bauman

My dad was first-generation college and I’ve had so many more doors opened to me because of the educational path my father forged. I believe in the transformative power of education, and find great joy in providing support to people as they apply for MBA, EMBA, deferred-enrollment MBA, and even specialty master’s programs. Helping people reach their career goals and full potential through the admissions process has been immensely rewarding. I’ve seen my clients cry with joy when they’ve been accepted to their dream MBA programs and that includes all the M7 programs; these moments have been deeply rewarding to me to witness generational progress. I’ve also held space for clients who have been disappointed and I’ve helped them to successfully reapply to MBA programs in subsequent cycles. I’m curious by nature, and love to be a facilitator in helping people learn more about themselves and make sense of their past experiences to connect the dots to their future. The longer I do this work, the more questions I ask to my clients to help them connect all the dots in their story. The insights that my clients have unearthed have been helpful not only in the admissions process but also in their career searches and in their communications skills and lives overall.
