MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Welcome to my profile! As an INSEAD MBA graduate with Distinction and a member of the admissions committee, I bring firsthand insights into the competitive MBA admissions process. My diverse professional background spans investment management at Saltagen Ventures and strategic consulting at Boston Consulting Group, equipping me with a robust understanding of business dynamics across various industries. As the co-founder of OnGrad, I've helped over 10,000 students and 30+ corporate clients with career development and recruitment strategies. With experience coaching 101 individuals, I'm passionate about guiding aspiring MBA candidates to craft compelling applications and achieve their academic and career goals. Let's connect to strategize your path to success!

MBA admissions and recruiting are ultimately storytelling exercises. The strongest candidates aren't always the ones with the most prestigious backgrounds—they're the ones who can clearly articulate their impact, leadership, and future ambitions. You don't need to have cured cancer or founded a unicorn. You need a compelling, authentic story that clearly demonstrates your impact, motivations, and future ambitions. I work with applicants on MBA applications, resumes, interview preparation, and career strategy. Together, we'll identify the experiences that truly differentiate you, craft a cohesive personal story, and position your profile in a way that feels authentic and compelling. Successful applications don't simply list accomplishments—they tell a coherent story that aligns your past experiences, current motivations, and future goals with what a particular school is looking for. I help candidates identify the archetype that best fits their profile and build a narrative that is both authentic and strategically positioned. I'll give honest feedback, challenge weak narratives, and help you put forward the strongest version of yourself. Whether you're targeting top MBA programs, transitioning into tech, or exploring your next career move, I'll help you approach the process with clarity and confidence.

Business school has the potential to change the trajectory of your life. I know because it changed mine. As a first-generation college graduate who grew up in public housing, I learned early that talent alone isn't enough. Opportunities often come to those who can clearly communicate their potential, connect seemingly unrelated experiences into a compelling narrative, and articulate a vision for the future. That's exactly what admissions committees are looking for. My career has taken me from structured finance at Wells Fargo Securities to distressed investing at Lone Star Funds, real estate development at Trammell Crow Company, affordable housing and community development, entrepreneurship as the founder of Meridian Advisory, and public policy through my Executive Master's studies at the London School of Economics. I also serve as Director of Financial Wellbeing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and teach Real Estate Capital Markets as an adjunct instructor at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School. Those experiences have shown me that the strongest applications aren't built around impressive resumes. They're built around authentic stories with a clear sense of purpose. As your coach, I'll help you identify what makes your journey distinctive, refine your leadership narrative, and present your experiences with clarity and confidence. Whether we're working on school selection, essays, resumes, interviews, or overall application strategy, my goal is to ensure your application reflects your highest potential, not what you think an admissions committee wants to hear. I work especially well with applicants who have complex or unconventional backgrounds, including first-generation students, career pivoters, finance and real estate professionals, public sector leaders, entrepreneurs, military veterans, and applicants seeking to connect technical expertise with a compelling leadership story. My coaching style is thoughtful, candid, and collaborative. I'll challenge your assumptions, ask difficult questions, and help you uncover the themes that connect your experiences into a narrative that is both authentic and memorable. Admissions committees aren't simply evaluating where you've been. They're investing in where you're going. My role is to help you tell that story in a way that reflects who you are and the impact you aspire to make.

As a Kellogg MBA graduate and former Bain Consultant, I bring a wealth of experience in strategic management and operations to my coaching. My journey through top-tier companies like Bain and Walmart has equipped me with the insights and skills necessary to guide you through the MBA admissions process. I've helped numerous clients refine their application strategies, craft compelling essays, and prepare for interviews, ensuring they present their best selves to admissions committees. Whether you're looking to enhance your application or need guidance on navigating the competitive landscape of MBA admissions, I'm here to help. Let's connect and chart a path to your dream business school!

As an MBA graduate at The Wharton School and an MA graduate at The Lauder Institute, I bring a unique blend of business acumen and international perspective to my coaching. I targeted joint degree programs in International Relations/Public Policy and was also admitted to Columbia MBA/SIPA, Yale MBA/SIPA, Harvard Kennedy School, and LSE. My professional journey includes international and impact-focused roles such as an MBA Strategy Intern at Brazilian climate-tech Courageous Land, an Investment Associate with Wharton Impact Investing Partners, and a Summer Associate at Arborview Capital, all of which have honed my strategic and analytical skills. I successfully completed the transition to impact investing through grad school and am now at JPMorgan Chase on the Impact Finance team. With experience in emerging markets sales and trading at Jefferies, I have a deep understanding of the competitive landscape and what it takes to succeed. I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA students navigate the admissions process and achieve their educational goals. Let's connect and craft a winning application strategy together!

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate from Yale SOM, where I was a Dean's Scholar and Forte Fellow, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the MBA admissions process. My academic journey also includes an MEng from Imperial College London. I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates navigate the complex admissions process, drawing on my own experiences and insights. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and work together to achieve your MBA goals!

- Previous experience in MBA admissions consulting - MBA Admissions Ambassador and VP Admissions at Fuqua

I hold an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I experienced both the transformative power of the programme and the rigour of the admissions process. Since graduating, I built a decade-long track record in senior leadership at Amazon, Uber, Sylvera, and Morgan Stanley — giving me genuine insight into the career trajectories, pivots, and challenges that MBA applicants and graduates navigate. Today I work as a Leadership Consultant and Executive Coach, with advanced training in organisational psychology from the NHS Tavistock Clinic and direct coaching experience guiding senior leaders and MBA students through INSEAD's flagship Personal Leadership Development Programme. I bring both the strategic rigour of a top business school education and the psychological depth to help you clarify your story, sharpen your positioning, and unlock what makes you genuinely distinctive — whether you're crafting your application or plotting your next career move.

Harvard Business School and Stanford GSB admit with a non-traditional applicant story (was coming from established career in academic medicine at age 32; also a queer mom with no typical "business" experience). I welcome clients of all stripes but am especially passionate about and uniquely qualified to serve applicants who non-traditional or who are applying to MD/MBA programs.

HBS MBA from a non-traditional path — I didn't fit the standard profile and got in anyway. I work with applicants who have compelling stories they haven't yet learned to tell: career changers, founders, first-generation students, and people whose backgrounds don't map neatly onto a consulting or banking trajectory. I help you build an application that's authentically yours and makes the case for why your path is an asset, not an exception.
