I have in depth experience in coaching and mentoring, specifically in the MBA admissions space. I've gone through the process myself with huge success, I've coached prospective students through private coaching, as part of corporate coaching programs, and in support of the HBS admissions process. The reason I think I stand out and have found success as a coach is because I work hard to gain a true understanding of the applicant; to understand their motivations, values, drivers, strengths, and weaknesses. All of that is critical to craft a strong application for elite schools, but maybe more importantly it is critical to provide you the best support that I can. I will be better suited tailor my coaching to your needs, ensure you stay motivated and on track throughout the process, and unlock important insights to make your application stand out.

Many candidates applying to INSEAD, London Business School, Oxford and Cambridge are doing so with one clear goal: to move into consulting. Yet that is also where many applications quietly become generic. Admissions committees have read thousands of versions of: “I want to transition into strategy consulting.” They can tell very quickly whether you genuinely understand the career you are describing, whether the goal makes sense given your background, and whether your story is credible. I bring a perspective that most admissions coaches cannot. As a Bain manager and interviewer, I spent years evaluating candidates and deciding who was ready to join the firm. Today, as an INSEAD alumni interviewer, I sit on the admissions side of that same journey. That means I can help you with two things in particular. First, I can tell you how your career goal sounds to someone who has actually hired for that role — and help you make it specific, credible and commercially grounded. Second, I can prepare you for the school interview from the perspective of someone who actually conducts these interviews. Around that, we do the core admissions work properly: building the right school shortlist, sharpening your CV, developing essays that tell one coherent story rather than five disconnected ones, and giving you an honest assessment of where you stand before you spend weeks writing applications.

I applied to HBS, Wharton and MIT Sloan in 2019 (R1) and was accepted into all three schools. I also took the GMAT while working full-time in investment banking. I’m passionate about guiding applicants through every stage of their applications, particularly in crafting compelling essays. I believe my own HBS essay was a standout in my application, thanks to the deep self-reflection and focused brainstorming process I went through with my admissions consultant. As a strong writer, I’m excited to support clients not only with ideation but also with critical revisions, ensuring their essays are authentic, cohesive, and memorable.

Welcome to my profile! If you're unsure how to tell your story—especially if you come from a nontraditional background, didn’t attend a “target” school, or just need a sharp thought partner to elevate your essays and resume—you’re in the right place! For the past two years, I’ve served as a career coach at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, helping students shape narratives that stand out. Before that, I spent five years in management consulting, leading teams and turning complex insights into clear, high-impact messaging. With a background in corporate strategy, healthcare, and data science, I’m especially helpful to applicants navigating less conventional career transitions—whether you're moving from technical roles into business or aiming to break into top programs without a traditional pedigree. Let’s work together to craft an application that’s strategic, authentic, and truly differentiated. Reach out to get started.

I'm a Wharton MBA and Palmer Scholar (top 5% of my graduating class), and I've spent years helping high-performing professionals navigate some of the most competitive admissions and career processes in the world. As a candidate, I successfully earned admission to a top MBA program. As a consultant and leader at BCG, I spent more than a decade mentoring and advising consultants pursuing MBA programs, helping them develop compelling applications, articulate their leadership stories, and position themselves for success at top business schools. Many of those candidates went on to earn admission to leading programs including Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Booth, MIT Sloan, NYU Stern, and Said. What makes my perspective unique is that I've also spent years on the other side of the table. As a former BCG Partner, I hired, mentored, and developed dozens of MBA graduates throughout their careers. I understand not only what top business schools are looking for in applicants, but also what employers expect from MBA talent once they arrive on campus and beyond. Whether you're applying to an M7 program, evaluating your school strategy, refining your resume, developing your personal narrative, preparing for interviews, or deciding between offers, I can help you present the strongest and most authentic version of your story. MBA admissions is ultimately about more than credentials—it's about demonstrating leadership, impact, self-awareness, and future potential. I'll help you do exactly that.

I’ve been on both sides of the MBA admissions process, including getting rejected one year and accepted the next, and that experience fundamentally shapes how I coach. I earned my MBA from Stanford GSB after initially being turned down, and I know firsthand that success isn’t about becoming “more impressive,” but about becoming clearer, more honest, and more intentional in how you tell your story. I especially enjoy working with nontraditional candidates who have taken risks, pursued unconventional paths, or are charting their own way forward. Before business school, I worked at McKinsey & Company and later led large-scale operations at Rocket Internet and Uber across multiple countries. Since then, I’ve founded and scaled mission-driven companies, including the country's largest worker cooperative, raised capital, served on boards, and won a Tony as a Broadway producer. I coach applicants to articulate not just what they’ve done, but why it matters, how they think, and who they are as leaders. My approach is candid, strategic, and deeply personal. I help you identify the through-line in your experiences, pressure-test your goals, and craft essays that sound like you, not a consultant-written version of you. I’m particularly well-suited to working with nontraditional candidates, reapplicants, and those navigating career pivots, because I’ve lived those paths myself.
