MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I applied to every top MBA program in the country without a consultant and got into all five: Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton, Booth, and MIT Sloan. Merit scholarships from each. Multiple full rides. GRE: 99th percentile after four weeks of prep. Five for five. I was admitted as one of the youngest members of the Stanford GSB Class of 2027. I hold multiple campus leadership roles, and outside of Stanford I serve as an Appointed Advisor to California Governor Gavin Newsom. Previously, I was an executive at a YCombinator-backed AI startup and the founding analyst of Accenture Strategy's Private Equity practice. My partner and co-coach is a JD/MBA at Wharton/Penn and a former McKinsey consultant. My own path to business school was anything but linear. I had a mix of experiences across tech, consulting, startups, and government, and I know what it takes to turn a complex background into a story admissions committees fight over. I've coached 15+ students on MBA admissions and career coaching, and am a multiple fellowship-winning writer, so I work with you hands-on from narrative strategy through final essay polish.

I'm a first-generation college student and former U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot who had no roadmap to business school. After navigating the process largely from scratch, I was accepted to MIT Sloan, Kellogg, Haas, Fuqua, Darden, and Tuck, and ultimately chose Sloan. That experience of figuring it out without a built-in network is exactly what drives my coaching: I know what it's like to feel lost and I know how to help you find clarity. Since then, I've helped 20+ candidates earn acceptances at programs including HBS, Stanford GSB, Booth, Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, and others across the top 25. I specialize in helping applicants craft a compelling narrative, especially career changers, veterans, and anyone who feels like their story doesn't fit a traditional mold. If you're not sure where to start or how to stand out, that's exactly where I do my best work.
