Business Master’s Admissions Consultants

Welcome to my profile! With a diverse educational background that includes an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School, an MBA from Tuck School of Business, a JD from Georgetown University Law Center (in progress), and an EdM from Harvard Graduate School of Education, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching practice. My professional journey includes leadership roles such as Executive Director at Starfire Council and Project Leader at Boston Consulting Group, where I honed my strategic and analytical skills. I have a passion for guiding aspiring master's program candidates through the complexities of the application process. Whether you need help with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and make your master's program aspirations a reality!

I've earned five degrees from four of the world's top universities — an MSM from Stanford GSB (MSx Sloan Fellows), an MBA from Wharton, an MA in International Studies from the Lauder Institute at Penn, an MS in Real Estate Development from MIT, and a BA from Harvard — spanning business, finance, real estate, international affairs, and the liberal arts. I was also admitted to London Business School's Sloan Fellows programme and attended INSEAD on exchange. Very few coaches can speak from personal experience across this range of programs, disciplines, and institutions. My graduate work has touched nearly every corner of the master's degree landscape: executive and mid-career programs (Stanford MSx, MIT Sloan Fellows), joint and dual degrees (Wharton/Lauder MBA/MA), industry-specific programs (MIT's MS in Real Estate Development), and internationally oriented degrees with language and regional immersion. I also guest lecture at Stanford School of Medicine on digital health and AI, giving me current insight into programs at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and policy. Outside academia, I've built a career across real estate private equity, venture capital, investment banking, international M&A, family office management, and digital health — experience that helps me advise applicants pursuing master's programs in fields ranging from finance and leadership to public policy, healthcare administration, and beyond. I work with applicants targeting a wide variety of master's programs in the U.S. and Europe, with particular expertise advising international candidates (I'm fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and have lived in five countries). My philosophy is the same across every program type: the right degree isn't necessarily the most prestigious one — it's the one that aligns with where you actually want to go. I help clients identify the programs that fit, craft applications that stand out, and make confident decisions when the acceptances come in.

I am an ESSEC Business School and Paris Sorbonne graduate, with 15 years of experience recruiting and coaching talent. Beyond my executive search work, I regularly participate in admissions interviews and selection boards for leading international institutions and programs including HEC, CEMS, IFM Paris, and NEOMA Business School. Having evaluated hundreds of applications, CVs, and interviews from both candidates and students, I have developed a strong understanding of what makes a profile truly stand out in highly competitive selection processes.

Welcome to my profile! With a Master's degree in Financial Analysis from London Business School and a Bachelor's in Economics from Queen Mary, University of London, I bring a strong academic foundation to my coaching. My professional background is rooted in competitive positioning and strategic storytelling, sharpened through demanding, high-pressure work. At London Business School, I completed a rigorous due diligence engagement that pushed me to build competitive frameworks under real business constraints, the same discipline and academic rigor that top master's programs expect from their candidates. I've also applied this lens through a credit analysis internship at Bank of Africa and start-up strategy work, giving me a sharp eye for what differentiates a strong candidate from a good one. Having navigated this level of rigor myself, I know exactly what it takes to help you build an application that meets it. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations. Reach out to start your journey towards success!

I'm Stanford GSB MBA/MS alum who has excelled in climate and impact work across roles spanning social entrepreneurship, climatetech and renewables consulting and development, and investing. I've also uniquely been through the process of applying to top schools from abroad (Mongolia). I know what it takes to pivot, to do a dual degree program, to apply to the U.S. from abroad, and to articulate the values that will make your application stand out. I have experience helping U.S. and international coachees with unconventional backgrounds gain admissions to top programs and get selected for life-changing scholarships. I am especially passionate about working with people who are focused on climate change and the environment. I want to help you uncover and authentically showcase your strengths so you can make moves toward a career that makes you tick. Whether you need help on big-picture essay framing or nitty-gritty details, I'm excited to work with you!

I know that choosing a Master’s program is about much more than getting into a good university. It’s about figuring out what you want to learn, where you want it to take you, and which programs genuinely fit your goals, interests, and profile. I hold a Master’s in Design Engineering from Harvard University, where I was recognized for teaching and leadership, and bring 15+ years of experience across product and technology at companies including Amazon, Meta, and Deloitte. I’ve also helped students think through graduate-school options and applications, including program selection, positioning their experiences, and developing a compelling and authentic application story. I enjoy getting to know what makes each person distinctive and helping them translate that into a thoughtful application and a well-considered graduate-school strategy. We can work through the big questions as well as the details, from deciding what kind of program makes sense for you to figuring out how to present your experiences in a way that feels genuinely yours.

I've navigated elite admissions firsthand — UCL for my undergraduate degree, then LBS as a Merit Scholar — and I've coached candidates into competitive Master's programmes since. Coming from a Natural Sciences background before moving into finance, I understand the non-linear applicant especially well: how to turn an unconventional path into a coherent, compelling case rather than a liability. I coach the whole application — story, essays, and interview — with the same focus on clarity and conviction that gets borderline-strong candidates over the line.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in healthcare management and strategy, I bring a wealth of experience to my coaching practice.

My professional journey includes leadership roles at top institutions like Rush University Medical Center and Northwestern Medicine, where I honed my skills in strategic planning and financial oversight. Over the years, I've successfully coached 62 individuals, helping them navigate the complexities of master's program applications and achieve their academic goals.
