MBA Admissions

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.

I am a current second year at Harvard Business School with a strong track record of delivering M7 admissions for clients. I can take your story and convert it into a strong package for admissions. I have experience working with clients from multiple different countries and have helped writing applications for years. For some background on me, I have spent the last few years of my career at the rapid delivery service Gopuff in a variety of strategy and finance roles. I majored in English at Brown University, so I love writing and editing essays. I am an Editor at Harvard Business School's student newspaper. Let's work together to get you into your dream school!

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.

Welcome to my profile! As a current JD candidate at Harvard Law School and a summa cum laude graduate from George Washington University, I bring a wealth of academic excellence and practical experience to my coaching.

I was accepted to several JD/MBA dual degree programs and have a deep understanding of what top law and business schools are looking for. Whether you need assistance with personal statements, resume building, or interview preparation, I'm here to guide you every step of the way and help you craft a compelling application that stands out.

Admissions officer at Stanford GSB for five years, reviewing over 10,000 applications, conducting information sessions, and helping with strategy. I also initiated and launched the first outreach conference recruiting female applicants to the GSB. After leaving Stanford, I ran a couple of nonprofits, then returned to the admissions world as a consultant in 2014. Though I have worked with applicants to a variety of business-related programs, I focus on the MBA because I bring the most value. I love working with clients as they go through the process, seeing them gain confidence in their own voice and producing applications that reflect their motivations and values. Although most of my clients are applying to the M7, I'm happy to offer guidance to those considering other schools, including programs outside the United States such as LBS, Oxford Said, Cambridge Judge, and INSEAD.

MIT. INSEAD. Columbia. LBS. I'll be honest, a few years ago, I wasn't sure I had a shot at any of them. Not a banker. Not a consultant. I started out with internships in marketing, sales, and product during undergrad, then made a pivot into finance that most people told me wouldn't stick. I recently turned down a VC role to take a corporate finance position instead, because I'd rather make the unconventional call I believed in than take the one that looked better on paper. That patchwork: growing up in Lebanon, then studying/working in France, Singapore, the Middle East, and now Toronto isn't the background anyone would design on purpose. But it's the one I learned to own. And getting into 5+ programs taught me that a scattered story, told with intention, can be more compelling than a clean one told without it. I don't coach by handing you a formula. I work with you to figure out what's actually interesting about your path (even the parts that feel like liabilities) and build a strategy around that. If you've ever felt like your background doesn't fit the mold, that's usually exactly where I like to start.

Having successfully navigated the rigorous admissions processes to receive interviews at Stanford, Harvard, and Wharton, I bring firsthand insights and proven strategies to help you achieve your MBA goals. Working with candidates, I've developed targeted techniques to craft compelling applications, ace interviews, and showcase unique strengths and experiences. As your MBA coach, I want to develop a relationship with you to provide personalized guidance, leveraging my insider knowledge to ensure your application stands out. Whether you aim for a specific school or a range of top programs, my tailored approach will help maximize your chances of success.

Welcome to my profile! I have a B.S in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford and a Harvard MBA (class of '23.) My background is a bit non-linear - I work full-time in venture capital, and prior to my MBA I worked across engineering and operations teams in deep tech startups. If you are an engineer or tech person looking to use an MBA pivot to business or escape the engineering silo, I have been in your shoes. If you are already coming from a business or finance role, I can help you apply a new design-thinking and iterative lens to your essay and MBA. My superpower is helping people get from 0 - 1, and I can't wait to help you discover and craft your unique narrative.
