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.
