I was fortunate to be admitted to both Harvard Business School and Stanford GSB, and I know firsthand how much thought, iteration, and self-reflection goes into building a compelling MBA application. Before business school, I worked at BCG and later in strategy roles across media and entertainment, experiences that taught me how to distill complex ideas into clear, persuasive stories—something I bring directly into my coaching. I’m especially passionate about helping applicants uncover the strongest version of their own story: identifying the experiences that actually matter, connecting the dots across their personal and professional journey, and turning that into essays that feel authentic rather than overly manufactured. I can support applicants across the full process, from school strategy and positioning to essays, resumes, and interview preparation. My goal is to be the thoughtful, candid sounding board I wish I had throughout my own application process.
