Having gone through the MBA admissions process myself, I know exactly how daunting it can feel, crafting your story, writing essays that stand out, and walking into admissions interviews with confidence. I hold an MBA and MSc in Design Innovation from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, one of the world's top business programs. Born in Shanghai and educated across Hong Kong and the US, I understand the unique challenges international candidates face, from positioning a non-Western career narrative to communicating across cultural contexts in essays and interviews. I'm fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, which allows me to work closely with candidates from Chinese-speaking backgrounds navigating the US admissions process. I help candidates find and articulate their unique story, position their experience compellingly, and prepare for interviews at top programs. Whether you're figuring out which programs to target or polishing your final essays, I'll give you honest, direct feedback that moves your application forward.

With an MBA from MIT Sloan and a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering from the United States Naval Academy, I bring a unique blend of technical and strategic expertise to MBA admissions coaching. My experience as a Consultant at Havoc AI and a Medical Service Corps Officer in the US Navy has honed my skills in leadership and problem-solving, which I leverage to help my clients craft compelling applications.

I’m a Wharton MBA candidate with experience at McKinsey and in product management, so I know what top programs look for and how to position you to stand out. I take a structured, insight-driven approach to help you craft a clear, compelling story across essays, resume, and interviews. My focus isn’t just polishing your application, but making sure your narrative is sharp, authentic, and differentiated.

Perhaps surprisingly, I do not believe most folks should get an MBA. My particular passion with MBA counseling is talking through if an MBA (or other degrees) makes sense given your goals. The MBA is a large investment with an increasingly uncertain return. I was fortunate that my MBA paid off - I got the career pivot I was looking for - but in many cases I recommend another path to folks. Let's chat to see if an MBA makes sense for you, and if so, which programs you should target. With a rich educational background from Georgetown University and a dual JD/MBA from the University of Pennsylvania and Wharton, I bring a unique blend of legal and business acumen to my coaching. My professional journey includes impactful roles at McKinsey & Company, where I was interviewer trained and helped applicants navigate the rigorous interview process, and leadership positions at Goosehead Insurance (mid-market public company) and various startups. I have coached numerous clients, leveraging my experience in strategy, operations, and transformation to guide them through the MBA application process. Whether you need help with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. I find my biggest value add to be dispelling the myths and rumors you may have encountered on forums like Reddit or in talking with other folks who have not been throught the process in recent years. In my experience, the Internet has a lot of half truths, so I am eager to clarify any thoughts or concerns you may have. I firmly believe I was able to get into Penn's JD/MBA program because of my ability to create a compelling narrative. Beyond a good score and GPA, it really all boils down to a compelling personal statement. This is where I shine - let me help you with this and more. Whether you're looking to refine your personal statement, prepare for interviews, or strategize your application, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Hi, I'm Sabrina — a sustainability practitioner and career coach with a background in consulting, based in Toronto and now Berkeley. My path here has been anything but straight: I studied Finance and Accounting, completed five internships spanning audit at Deloitte and consumer fintech at PayPal, then spent three years at McKinsey building my consulting foundation. From there, I took a leap into mission-driven work as a Fellow at Conservation International, focused on ocean conservation finance. Now I'm pursuing a dual MBA and Master of Climate Solutions at UC Berkeley, navigating the sustainability space in real time — which means I know firsthand what it takes to break in, stand out, and build a career with both impact and trajectory. Since college, I've been passionate about helping people find work they're genuinely excited to wake up for. I've been in the thick of tough career decisions myself, and I'd love to help you navigate yours.

I am an ESSEC Business School and Paris Sorbonne graduate, with 15 years of experience recruiting and coaching talent. Beyond my executive search work, I regularly participate in admissions interviews and selection boards for leading international institutions and programs including HEC, CEMS, IFM Paris, and NEOMA Business School. I also regularly act as a guest lecturer and career coach at leading business schools including ESSEC, ISG Luxury Geneva, and Rome Business School. Having evaluated hundreds of applications, CVs, and interviews from both candidates and students, I have developed a strong understanding of what makes a profile truly stand out in highly competitive selection processes. My coaching combines insider recruitment expertise, strategic positioning, and practical guidance.

My approach to coaching comes from lived experience, not theory. I recently navigated the graduate admissions process myself and earned offers from the following top programs: The University of Toronto Masters of Science in Applied Computing, Carnegie Mellon Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence Engineering, Columbia Dual MBA/Executive MS: Engineering & Applied Science, UC Berkeley Electric Engineering & Computer Sciences Master of Engineering, and Carnegie Mellon Master of Science in Machine Learning program. I have confirmed my decision to attend the Machine Learning program at Carnegie Mellon this fall. Before that, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from UT Austin with a 3.96 GPA in Computer Science. I know firsthand what it takes to build a compelling application because I have done it across both technical and business programs. My strength is narrative strategy. I help you identify the through line in your experiences, position your story for the specific program type you are targeting, and write essays that are punchy, defensible, and free of inflated claims. Beyond admissions, I bring real-world credibility as someone that has worked at startups, big companies, and nonprofits as well as research experience. I will give you honest assessments, not validation, and I will work with you draft by draft until every word earns its place.
